A bit terse commit message, could you elaborate a bit on their
specifics?

Again should probably be a separate patch. Again, I don't care much
as long as the DT people are happy.

Maybe you want to use the gpio-line-names = ; property in the example
to show how nice it is to name the lines?

I wonder if you should not depend on the pin controller instead.
It seems closer and also likely to act as a back-end for the
GPIOs.

Just do this:

return !!(val & MADERA_GP1_LVL_MASK);

- Implement .get_direction()

Also consider implementing:

- request/free/set_config looking like this:

.request = gpiochip_generic_request,
.free = gpiochip_generic_free,
.set_config = gpiochip_generic_config,

If you also implement the corresponding
.pin_config_set in struct pinconf_ops and
.gpio_request_enable() and .gpio_disable_free()
in struct pinmux_ops, you get a pin control back-end
that will mux in the pins to GPIO mode if they are wrong
set, and also set up debounce and/or open drain for the
GPIO line using the standard GPIO callbacks with pin
control as a back-end.

If you also specify "strict" in struct pinmux_ops you block
the collisions between users of GPIO and other functions
in the pin control driver.

(Please go back and look at your pin control driver
for this.)

Example driver using pin control as GPIO back-end:
drivers/pinctrl/intel/pinctrl-intel.c

Other than this it looks fine.
