One of the reasons for set_multiple() to exist is to allow multiple
GPIOs on the same chip to be changed simultaneously - see commit
5f42424354 ("gpiolib: allow simultaneous setting of multiple GPIO
outputs"):
- Simultaneous glitch-free setting of multiple pins on any kind of
parallel bus attached to GPIOs provided they all reside on the
same chip and bank.
In order for this to work, we should not use the atomic set/clear
registers, but instead read-modify-write the dataout register. We
already take the spinlock to ensure that happens atomically, so
move the code into the set_multiple() function and kill the two
helper functions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
