Don't be patronising.

There is an existing address space defined by the gpio binding.
Defining another one is pointless redundancy.  This is standard good
ideas in computer science, no further argument necessary.
The existing address space, and the patches Anton etc. just submitted
which I started this discussion to address, don't fulfil certain needs.

You could do better than call it insane, by describing how you would
define a gpio bank that used 3 seperate pins which are NOT together
in a register, using a base address (reg) and base property (offset
of first pin) with the current system?
