Yes, they are plain GPIOs, and defined in the spec for the respective
chip. There's no alternative to how they could be represented.

Here, with the td028, the spec speaks of 3 pins for the serial bus. Not
4. So there cannot be 4 gpios defined in the panel's data, that just
doesn't make sense.

Additionally, what we have here are not "normal" gpios, but pins for a
serial bus, 3-wire SPI. If the panel data specifies the gpios, then it's
not possible to use real SPI hardware with the panel.
