+Arrays of pins
+--------------
+In addition to requesting pins belonging to a function one by one, a device may
+also request an array of pins assigned to the function.  The way those pins are
+mapped to the device determines if the array qualifies for fast bitmap
+processing.  If yes, a bitmap is passed over get/set array functions directly
+between a caller and a respective .get/set_multiple() callback of a GPIO chip.
+
+In order to qualify for fast bitmap processing, the pin mapping must meet the
+following requirements:
+- it must belong to the same chip as other 'fast' pins of the function,
+- its index within the function must match its hardware number within the chip.
+
+Open drain and open source pins are excluded from fast bitmap output processing.

 Note that for optimal performance GPIOs belonging to the same chip should be
 contiguous within the array of descriptors.
 
+Still better performance may be achieved if array indexes of the descriptors
+match hardware pin numbers of a single chip.  If an array passed to a get/set
+array function matches the one obtained from gpiod_get_array() and array_info
+associated with the array is also passed, the function may take a fast bitmap
+processing path, passing the value_bitmap argument directly to the respective

+banks as data I/O ports without much loss of performance.

 The return value of gpiod_get_array_value() and its variants is 0 on success
 or negative on error. Note the difference to gpiod_get_value(), which returns
 0 or 1 on success to convey the GPIO value. With the array functions, the GPIO
