You shouldn't care. The parallel NAND interface has WE/RE signals to
trigger a write/read on the data bus, that means you can change data
signals independently without risking data corruption as long as RE/WE
stay high (or low, I don't remember the active state on these pins). Of
course it's slower if you have to toggle data pins independently, but
that's not your problem. It's up to the HW designer to route things
correctly.

Again, this is not really a problem. You'll just have to swap bits if
this is not the case. Not a big deal.

Why?

This should be taken care of when requesting the pins.

Wow! This is a very very bad idea. There's a clear separation between
the GPIO consumer and the GPIO driver API for a good reason, and
you're violating this. linux/gpio/driver.h should only be included by
GPIO controller drivers.

And this, you shouldn't do. You should instead go through the GPIO
consumer API to get the pin state (gpiod_get_raw_array_value()).

I guess you'd prefer to have the pin values in a bitmap instead of an
array of integers. That's probably something you can discuss with
Linus, see if he would accept to change the prototype of
gpiod_get_raw_array_value().
