One of the thing that Rob asked in his comments 
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg437675.html) was to retain 
the support for old devices, moving to gpiod ATM would break such 
devices as they are still using legacy gpiolib and its naming.


If Rob is ok to drop gpio properties which does not have "-gpio" or 
"-gpios" suffix then we can get rid of this function all together.
