Yes, I think that kind of thing is exactly what the power sequences
bindings/driver are for.

In your original email, you mentioned that some of those cells for the
GPIO control the state features such as pull-up/-down and
drive-strength. Those two features should really be configured by
pinctrl not by the GPIO bindings, although that's a comment on the GPIO
bindings itself, and nothing to do with power sequences.
