That is a different SoC and needs to have a different compatible string.
"loongson,ls2k-foo" compatible strings were a mistake that only got past
us because we were not aware it was a family, rather than a specific
SoC. They certainly should not be used in isolation on a 3a5000!

Are there more than one GPIO controllers on the 3a5000? If so, what do
those nodes look like.
