DAT is the data register, aka input register, if the GPIO is in input
mode.

If I read the datasheet correctly you should use the following:

PCM512x_GPIO_EN should be reg_dir_out_base
PCM512x_GPIO_CONTROL_1 should be reg_set_base
PCM512x_GPIN should be reg_dat_base

no custom xlate necessary. GPIN looks a bit fishy in that datasheet:
  http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/pcm5121.pdf?ts=1590684141147

PCM512x_GPIO_OUTPUT_1..6 is pinmux control and shouldn't be part of
the gpio-regmap. Your driver needs to take care of that.

dir_out_base is used if the register is high active to select an output.
dir_in_base is used for a low active register. Thus both bases are used
to switch a GPIO between input and output.

There is no fix in gpio-regmap. wherever this GPIO is connected to must
not call gpiod_set_value() but have to use gpiod_set_value_cansleep().
