You will need to update the numbers.

Jeremy, can you let Norm know how to calculate the numbers? Perhaps
some documentation in the docs repo as a cheatsheet?

It appears the gpio subsystem does not allow for this; we need to
export by numbers. Once you have exported the device it shows up with
the GPIOX# name as used in the datasheet and schematic.

Have you been able to do this on other platforms?

Cheers,

Joel
