Can you give an example of how this would be hooked up to other drivers
using those gpios. Can you give an example of how using the "gpio-keys" or
"gpio-leds" drivers in combination with virtio-gpio looks like in the DT?

Would qemu simply add the required DT properties to the device node that
corresponds to the virtio device in this case?

>From what I can tell, both the mmio and pci variants of virtio can have their
dev->of_node populated, but I don't see the logic in register_virtio_device()
that looks up the of_node of the virtio_device that the of_gpio code then
tries to refer to.
