In its current shape, the driver sets data port direction before each
byte read/write operation, even during multi-byte transfers.  Since
performance of the driver is completely not acceptable on Amstrad Delta
after it has been converted to GPIO bitbang, try to improve things a
bit by setting the port direction only on first byte of each transfer.

Resulting performance on Amstrad Delta is still far from acceptable.

I'd suggest a slightly different approach where the data pins
direction state is stored in the the priv struct and only changed when
required. This way you just have to add a test in
ams_delta_read/write_byte().

Good idea, I'm going to use it, thanks.

Once done, may I also move that one earlier in the series so that it can be 
applied while our discussion on GPIO bitmap changes still continues?

Thanks,
Janusz

I think I may answer on his behalf: yes! You can move the GPIO bitmap
changes at the end of the series, checking that you never break the
bisectability. Then I could apply the major changes and let us iterate
on the GPIO bitmap stuff only.

Thanks,
