As Maxime mentioned, this is an unusual way of defining GPIOs. If this
new way is acceptable, then I'd suggest more precise wording, e.g.:

- gpios: Must contain an entry for each entry in gpio-names.
  See ../gpio/gpio.txt for details.
- gpio-names: May contain any or all of the following entries:
  - reset
  - shutdown

It would be nice if include/dt-bindings/rfkill-gpio.h existed and
contained e.g.:

#define RFKILL_TYPE_BLUETOOTH 2

So that:

Could be written as:

		rfkill-type = <RFKILL_TYPE_BLUETOOTH>;
