Okay, it looks like this is the standard way to do this within the GPIO
subsystem. I can switch to that.

Yes, within the source code, ngpio will be the exact number of pins that
the GPIO controller physically exposes. But that still works fine, feel
free to test the driver if you don't believe me. The translation from
one numberspace to the other is done in tegra186_gpio_of_xlate().
