Maybe specify that the second cell uses the standard GPIO
parameters in <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>?

The driver is quite elaborate, you can probably list which
parameters you support on this hardware even if the
driver don't even implement them yet: it's just a binding
after all.

Why? Isn't it obvious from the compatible how many pins
the GPIO chip has? Then use that instead.
Write under the compatible as description: for each chip
how many gpios it has.

This is impressive. It's quite advanced to use the pin config props
for elaborate pin config control.
