Not that routine (see Documentation/gpio.txt where
that's specified) ... but other using the same lock.

When setting GPIO direction, spin_lock_irq() style
calls are appropriate (but this isn't wrong).

The gpio_{get,set}_value() accessors may be called
from IRQ context, so they need to save/restor the
IRQ flags.

See Documentation/gpio.txt:

+ Note that these operations include I/O barriers on platforms
+ which need to use them; drivers don't need to add them explicitly.

That's the key thing: drivers using I/O calls should
not need to insert bus or platform specific calls to
make sure the calls take effect.


Also:

GPIO values are zero/nonzero, not zero/one. So the "!!"
can be removed.
