Great, thanks!

So, I remove the yaml file and add the bindings to the documenation,
then? Makes sense to me because it is for debugging and not really
official.

Heh, my first draft was placed in drivers/gpio. I'd be happy to have it
there.

Since he agreed, I'll update this in v2.

Yes, good point!

All the best,
