Yeah, I don't like this patch either. GPIO numbering is a Linux internal detail and has no bearing on the hardware description. If you need to know what a particular gpio number is then it should be resolved by finding the device tree node; not by trying to fix a GPIO controller to a particular number. g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
