Hi!

I have only tested this on an 8-bit sx1502, so I'm uncertain if
the there needs to be locking for this to work as intended for
the bigger chips with an oscio pin? Probably.

So, I didn't add (or rather, removed) these lines at the end of
sx150x_gpio_set_multiple() and made the op optional instead.

	if (*mask & pctl->oscio_mask)
		sx150x_gpio_oscio_set(pctl, *bits & pctl->oscio_mask);

I mean, what happens if there are two users writing multiple pins
where one of the pins is the oscio pin, and this happens concurrently?
I get the feeling that there is nothing stopping interleaving in that
case, and you could end up with the desired values from user 1 for the
normal pins, and the desired value for the oscio pin from user 2.

But for the easy case (no oscio) where the existing regmap locking
holds, this is a nice speedup and desired behaviour without a lot
of individual pin changes.

Cheers,
Peter
