Ah, that's the name! I didn't find ioread32*/iowrite32* in the
documentation or source code.

I'll look into it. So far it looks good (drivers/gpio/gpio-iop.c has
just 60 lines).

Makes sense. I'll try this out.

Yes, I plan to add IRQ support in a later patch.

Yep, gpio-mmio looks like a good option, thanks for the pointer!
