I asked about the datatype for this "val", it sure isn't "unsigned".

I suspected the registers were only 8bit and so it should be u8.
But atleast use u32 if you must use all these bits.

BTW: have you considered [readl|writel]_relaxed?

Sorry - missed adding this to my list of fixes. I've used u32 as the
datasheet advises these are 32-bit registers and must be
read/written as such.
Changes included in v4.

I haven't - and to be honest I didn't know what difference it would
make until I read up on it.
Most of this code already existed in mainline in
arch/arm/mach-vt8500/gpio.c and I simply moved it across to
drivers/gpio and made some changes/additions. Having looked,
I don't see any reason why it can't use the _relaxed variants.
Changes included in v4.


I'll post up v4 for review when I get home in about 7 hours.

Work always gets in the way of being productive :)
