Should this routine be renamed to msr_gpio_get() or perhaps better to give all values (inputs and outputs)?

I'm trying to port this approach to omap-serial to implement RS485 switching. I need to know if RTS is already on or not and set it accordingly.

What would be the best solution for this task using this new API?
