I don't know if it's relevant to the discussion but that is
not GPIO #0 in the global GPIO numberspace, it is
*offset* zero on some gpio_chip named gpio1.

At probe time that chip is given some base offset
and offset 0 becomes the global GPIO number
(base+offset) so if that GPIO chip starts from 128
this indicates global GPIO number 128.

Or something totally different. It's a Linux-specific
implementation detail, all DT GPIO notations are
relative offsets.
