I agree, describe what's problem to solve.. mainly I think this patch
coverting the driver into device tree aware, so it will probe axp-gpio
based on if the target dts support it or not..

For Linux driver, I think Andre refer to the AXP209 GPIO driver [1]
and two more compatibles "x-powers,axp221-gpio", "x-powers,axp813-gpio" are needed

Please also check the ".gpio_status_offset" which differ in device data

Agree, should fold these info into compatible data with multiple compatible
