Right. Does the GPIO work? If so, it sounds like the read/write
access checks in spmi pmic arb don't work properly.

Ah I got confused because I thought we numbered GPIO pins from 0,
but on the PMIC we number from 1. I see that base = -1 assignment
now. I thought that all pins on the pmic were being configured
somewhere because I didn't see a gpio 0 usage in DT.
