And do you really have and test this regularly on both LE and BE hardware? I am worrying a bit about maintenance...
I am more than happy to drop that. I will most probably never test this on LE hardware.

Please make a best effort to reuse or augment and reuse this: drivers/gpio/gpio-generic.c IIRC this one also handles endianness issues, but I could be wrong.
Sure, many of the initial functions do small basic tasks and resembles functions in gpio-generic. But that does not make the hardware itself a good candidate to use gpio-generic IMHO:
1) This core is generally running on SPARC, that is BE, but even on SPARC, readl and writel (that would be used in gprio-generic) deals with LE accesses and my registers are BE.
2) The grgpio_to_irq function is very hardware specific, and there is of course no gpio_to_irq support in gpio-generic.
3) Running on SPARC, I get Open Firmware information from prom, so there is no platform data to access in the probe function. Of course general Open Firmware support could be added to gpio-generic, but in addition my probe needs to set up very hardware specific things for gpio_to_irq.
