On the assumptions you've tested this *AND* will
resubmit with the previously-requested change of
removing all references to non-existent
"virtual"ness in the driver ... I'll likely
add my ack to that resubmitted version

Also, chip2gpio seems an excessively generic name;
maybe chip2_ti_ssp_gpio or somesuch?

I'd still be happier seeing this "stack" packaged
as a hardware library called by various drivers
(like GPIO, SPI, etc) rather than a core driver
that's called by other drivers.  That seems like
a better structure for various vendors' "SSP"
hardware (multifunction serial interface logic)
since most function drivers just need to poke
the registers a bit differently, and don't have
much to share with a "core driver" beyond a few
setup routines (if that).
