Can't comment on the general design, but the way it is
described/implemented in the patch is consistent with GPIO controllers
in general in the kernel. e.g. its the same as gpio_nvidia, and it is
then driven by the generic gpio/dt code rather than having to
implement extra stuff in the vx855 driver.
