Wow that was a very interesting one.
Turning over these stones sometimes expose the weirdest
things.

This is one of the reasons why we need formal validation of
DTS files: things look OK to the human eye and get merged
but they are just syntactically wrong.

I guess I could hack to make "gpios" be ignored by the
regulator GPIO quirks in gpiolib, but I take it you probably
prefer to fix up the real issue like this.

Anyways, good job!
