How do you customize it? I would like to keep the benefit of gpiolib
implementation.
In arch/arm/mach-at91/include/mach/gpio.h we include the
asm-generic/gpio.h. That is why I protect the generic code with
__HAVE_ARCH_GPIO_IS_VALID.

With this, we can keep the benefit of having an inline function.

Well the standard function:
return ((unsigned)number) < ARCH_NR_GPIOS;
is not suitable for AT91 as said in the thread.
