We must be close to the goal now, since we're picking apart stuff like
this!

Since I've done it both ways locally, I'll try to recap.

Requiring an xlate puts a greater demand on the drivers, and requires
an extra patch to get Vybrid working (adding xlate to vybrid_gpio.c)
but does make it clearer which drivers need updates to handle DT
parsing.

There are a lot of them:
	altera_pio
	at91_gpio
	atmel_pio4
	axp_gpio
	bcm2835_gpio
	dwapb_gpio
	gpio-uniphier
	hi6220_gpio
	intel_ich6_gpio
	lpc32xx_gpio
	msm_gpio
	mvebu_gpio
	pm8916_gpio

None of these have dts files in either U-Boot or the kernel, so this
doesn't appear to be a problem.

Calling gpio_xlate_offs_flags as done in the V2 I just sent adds 64
bytes of code to the output for all machines, but transparently adds
support for machines like vybrid and mxc.
