I think it is possible to add 'reg_db' into the device-specific
(private) structure, so no need to add it into the generic one
(the fact that the generic gpio code does not use it at all, is a
sign that you should place it into a private struct).

I.e. something like this:

struct foo_chip {
	struct bgpio_chip bgc;
	void __iomem *reg_db;
};

static struct foo_chip *to_foo_chip(struct bgpio_chip *bgc)
{
	return container_of(bgc, struct foo_chip, bgc);
}

static void foo_gpio_set_debounce(struct gpio_chip *gc, ...)
{
	struct bgpio_chip *bgc = to_bgpio_chip(gc);
	struct foo_chip *fgc = to_foo_chip(bgc);

	writel(..., fgc->reg_db);
}


Or, if the generic code will use that register, then please introduce
the code at the same time you introduce reg_db.

Thanks,
