We don't really allow GPIO drivers to define all kinds of custom
device attributes. Also: this driver does not register a GPIO provider
- rather it's a GPIO consumer.

For what you're trying to achieve: have you tried using libgpiod and
controlling the lines from user-space? If that's too slow, then I'd
say this driver should go somewhere else. Maybe you'd need a whole new
protocol sub-system for that. In any case - this subsystem is not the
right place.
