Thanks for your patch!

Doesn't this store the 46 cfg bits in a 64-bit word, and the 8 port
and pin bits in a different 32-bit word? Worse, you'll get 4 bytes
of padding at the end of the structure.
Changing the port and pin to u64 should make sure everything is
stored together in a single 64-bit word.
