I was thinking of something like below:

    deviceX: deviceX@...YYYY {
        ...
        gpio = <&virtio_gpio 0>;
        ...
    };

    virtio_mmio@...0000 {
        dma-coherent;
        interrupts = <0x0 0x10 0x1>;
        reg = <0x0 0xa000000 0x0 0x200>;
        compatible = "virtio,mmio";

        virtio_gpio: protocol@22 {
            reg = <0x22>;
        };
    };
