Have you checked if this might regress on the older platforms where maybe
drivers that are looking for the specific GPIO number?

Please, elaborate the answer to the above in the commit message (in case you

The background of this request is the OMAP breakage in the previous cycle
due to the very similar change. We don't want to repeat our mistakes.
