That is likely to require the compiler reload exar_gpio->first_pin
after the write to *bit.

Gah why is it using divide then ?: ?
AFAICT (from the above) there are at most 16 pins.

Much better would be using:
	tmp =	offset + exar_gpio->first_pin;
	*bit = tmp & 7;
	return tmp & 8;

Inlined the compiler may well compute:
	exar_offset_to_bank_and_bit() ? HI : LO;
as:
	LO + (HI - LO) * exar_offset_to_bank_and_bit().
The latter term is likely to be just (tmp & 8) >> n.

I also bet the code actually wants (1 << bit).
