Sorry, but DT defines the names of nodes. If it's a gpio-controller,
then 'gpio'.

I still don't understand where the unit address gets defined. 0 and 1
look a bit made up. I'm sure you explained it before, but *this patch*
needs to explain it. When you define a second protocol, the 0 and 1
addresses are taken already, so you can't have 'clock-controller@0' for
example.
