The above description is not too useful because it should hopefully
later on in the series be expressed as a schema. IOW, the syscon schema
should have a gpio child node with a $ref to this schema.

What would be useful is to say something about the GPIO block.

As I said earlier, copy what brcm,bcm6345-gpio.txt did and use reg
instead of data and dirout properties.

That binding says it is for bcm63xx SoCs, too. So that should be
resolved. It looks like it should be 1 binding IMO. The only difference
I see is the number of GPIO lines and register size. The fact that the
parent is a syscon in some cases is irrelevant.
