Hi Anson,

This does not scale well as we need to support mx8 soon.

Like I replied in my last message the best solution here is to add a
"fsl,imx7d-gpio" compatible entry in this driver.

Then you can set a flag in the "fsl,imx7d-gpio" case to handle the
'power_off' feature.

With this method there will be no need to touch this driver again for
adding mx8 support.
