True, but those scripts are going to be board specific and already
depend on board data.  The name will be consistent per board.

Is the bank name used in tpl/spl at all?  There's no script support
there and it could only be used in board code.

Again this is board specific - if a board wants this scheme of GPIO
naming it can enable aliases and rely on that.

I have been thinking of another option which is a bigger change to the
bank name - it doesn't have to be a letter, could we use the register
address as the bank name?  So the GPIO would be something like
ff750000.1 (although I don't know how the naming scheme works, so having
a separator may not work).

What do you think of that idea?
