The general interface seems fine, but I'd be happier if you didn't
try to support all four of the possible syntaxes we have in DT.
It would be much better to have only "gpios" and not "gpio", and
the "foo-gpios" syntax should be replaced with whatever method you
use to name other subsystem specific links. For most subsystems
we now use something like "gpio-names", but unfortunately the GPIO
binding goes back to the time before we had come to that agreement.
The same applies to regulators.

This is ultimately up to the gpio maintainers though.
