I added the comment

done but I could tou explain the advantage of doing it?

Following your review, I tried to use it but it didn't work for
me. When the second pin controller was probed then there was collision
for the gpio number. I tried several combination without any luck.

So for now I left it aside.

I can show you the errors message I get and the binding I used if you
are interested.


Thanks,

Gregory
