GPIO controllers need "gpio-controller" property, so this seems to be
something else.

No need to enforce node name, unless this is for a class of devices. But
then why "gpio" not just "wiegand"?

I have troubles understanding this. The "wiegand" node is the bus,
right? Then what is "wiegand-gpio"? GPIO controller? Then why it is not
marked as GPIO controller? What GPIOs does it control?

Aren't these properties of the bus, not the device?
