Sure, will do that.

As suggested in the comments received on the RFC version of this patch[0], I am trying to use regmap MMIO by looking at gpio-mvebu.c. I got your point regarding the usage of own locks is not making any sense.
Here is what I will do in v2:
1. drop the usage of own locks
2. consistently use regmap_* apis for register access (replace all iowrites).
Does this make sense now?

Ok. Will directly return gpiochip_add_data().
Thanks for your comments!
