Baah, the number that I'm after is in the $SYSFS/kernel/debug/gpio that I
was pulling the platform from, so I can just pull it directly from there.

No need to go hunting through the file system for the base file - the
range of GPIOs assigned to the chip is right there.

In this example it is the 508:

# e.g. gpiochip0: GPIOs 508-511, parent: platform/gpio-mockup.0, gpio-mockup-A:

So I'll use that - unless it is unreliable for some reason?

Cheers,
Kent.
