I am very happy to see the progress that is being made.

I am looking forward to see how the GPIOs will be modified from userspace.
The fact that single controllers can host hundreds of GPIOs is going to
make it an interesting problem.

Do you have a sketch of how the accesses with be performed?
ioctl, read, write.

Thanks for all of the work so far.
