Sure. This is the implementation used in gpio-mmio.c to provide the same
functionality, so I had used that for consistenty between the two drivers.

This would certainly make the code a bit easier to follow when you're not
familiar with it :-)
I also see the other functions do checks on static values too, so I'll bring
this function in line with that style.

This negation can indeed be a bit confusing, I'll change this. As Andy
suggested, I just went for a 'quirks' field, with currently only one defined
flag.
