The move and the change to the binding should probably be separate
patches since they're logically separate things. I didn't intend you to
update the rename patch to fix the binding issue I pointed out.

Is the driver updated for this binding change? Are there DTs in released
kernels that won't work now, or is the driver very new; there may be a
need for the driver to support the old binding and the binding doc to
document the old gpios property, but mark it deprecated.
