nothing specific. It makes easy to find number of bytes than words.

Well I did use the C struct method, if you see my patches submitted earlier
but according to Prafulla and Lie structure size is too big. so they want me
to use a mix of C struct and BASE + OFFSET notation. so I thought to break the big
C struct into smaller grouped structures pointing each group with GPIO base + group
offset. I would be glad if you can suggest me something better or smarter.
