This is still really screwy. Why are you creating your own version of
struct gpio_chip in addition to the one in include/asm-generic/gpio.h
(which you also appear to include in some places). It makes the code
extremely confusing. Other architectures use wrapper structures. Can you
have something like this instead:

	struct dream_gpio_chip {
		struct gpio_chip chip;

		/* Dream specific bits */
	};

The name of this function also needs to be changed to something less
generic since it is being exported globally.

I also think this function is doing way to much work for what it is.
Does it really need to be this complicated?
