But please name them like "databus-gpio", so that it is obvious what it
is. Also have to think about how this will work with multiple GPIO
controllers: do you require the GPIO controller node to be part of every
GPIO description, or do you do some "gpio-parent" scheme as well, how
does that interact with not having a single array of GPIOs?
Better write this down as a binding, before committing to it :-)
