Nominally, the GPIO descriptors are just abstract resources such
as regulators or clocks, they can be used for a lot but just like
a clock, regulator, dma channel etc does not know who is using
it and for what, it does not know this, no.

Of course it *can* but we would end up encoding a special
case every time something like this happens, tied to just
device tree, then another bolt-on for ACPI etc.

I have a hard time following the problem really, I'm
afraid I'm simply just not smart enough :(

Yours,
