Bindings are for h/w blocks/devices, not a specific driver.

Too generic of a name. We want any given property name (globally) to 
have 1 type. With the below comment, this should be replaced with 'reg' 
instead if you have child nodes.

Looks like GPIO is a sub-function of some other block. Define the 
binding for that entire block. GPIO can be either either a function of 
that node (just add GPIO provider properties) or you can have GPIO child 
nodes. Depends on what the entire block looks like to decide. Do you 
have multiple instances of the GPIO block would be one reason to have 
child nodes.
