How to operate the gpio

[William Kennington]

I've been working on it periodically, but right now we support
converting aspeed names to offsets for the gpiochip
https://github.com/openbmc/gpioplus/blob/master/src/gpioplus/utility/aspeed.hpp

I'd like to make it so that eventually you can just pass it a string
from config files like:
aspeed at A5 or npcm at 253 and have it pick the right gpiochip and line
offset for you.
