What would happen with gpio controllers using #gpio-cells = <3> (or more) like allwinner,sun4i-a10-pinctrl.yaml ?

On this example the flags are args->args[2] so this would probably fail.

This would also fails badly with #gpio-cells = <1>, args->args[1] value would be undefined.

You should probably limit to args->args_count == 2 for now.
