Oops, looks like I made an off-by-one error here so I'll make sure to
fix that up.

This device is simple enough that throughout this function I could
inline gpio_reg_size and port_mask to 8 and 0xFF respectively, but I
would like to keep the code generic enough for reuse in other drivers.
In addition, I believe the variable names help keep the intention of the
code clear, so I'll stick with dedicated const variables for now if
there are no other objections.

Will do.

Port I/O is significantly more costly to perform than the bitmask
evaluations for each port. Despite the increased complexity of the loop
logic, I believe the latency improvements of skipping unnecessary I/O
port reads are worth the trouble.

I do like the idea of a bitmap_copy_uXX_off macro as that could be quite
useful in general. Even if not for this particular patchset, I would be
interested in seeing that functionality added to the bitmap API. Perhaps
I might implement it as a standlone patch when I have some free time.
