 The pinctrl node must have "#gpio-range-cells" property to show number of
 arguments to pass with phandle from gpio controllers node.

+3) gpio-export
+--------------
+
+gpio-export will allow you to automatically export gpio
+
+required properties:
+- compatible: Should be "gpio-export"
+
+in each child node will reprensent a gpio or if no name is specified
+a list of gpio to export
+
+required properties:
+- gpios: gpio to export
+
+optional properties:
+ - gpio-export,name: export name
+ - gpio-export,output: to set the as output with default value
+ 		       if no present gpio as input
+ - pio-export,direction_may_change: boolean to allow the direction to be controllable
+
+Example:
+

+gpio_export {
