I was more thinking along the lines of trying to avoid the
unpleasant lack of control when doing this with platform
data and hard-coded GPIO numbers by restricting the way
it can be done in the device tree.
Hoping that there were no offenders in there already ...
I guess it has to hit linux-next before we know that.
