This use case is to do namespace mapping from gpio subsystem to hte. Few doubts:
1. What does deprecate mean here? Does gpio subsys not use global space anymore?
2. If yes, what GPIO number is set when it comes from gpiolib-cdev, as based on that I may have to
reflect in the mapping, tegra194_aon_gpio_map for example.
