Get rid of that blank line.

This part with all GPIO controllers looks nice.

(...)

I don't understand any stuff in this hikey-gpio.dtsi file.

What does all this mean?

If it has any practical use whatsoever then explain it in the
commit message, but right now it just looks like a big list
of placeholders with no use, but you can copy-paste them
into device nodes the day you need them?

If they are unused, just drop this file please.

Yours,
