Thank you for clarification. Now I understood, I was looking at it in
the wrong way and when looking at in in terms hardware I understood the
mistake that I have been doing. So, the id-gpio is actually not an
inherent part of the wrapper but rather something that it gets from the
connector. So, there needs to be different node describing this.

Thanks,
Aswath
