Introducing nvidia,gpio-controller property from Tegra234 SoCs onwards.
This is done to help below case.

Without this property code would look like:
if (of_device_is_compatible(dev->of_node, "nvidia,tegra194-gte-aon"))
	hte_dev->c = gpiochip_find("tegra194-gpio-aon",
				   tegra_get_gpiochip_from_name);
else if (of_device_is_compatible(dev->of_node, "nvidia,tegra234-gte-aon"))
	hte_dev->c = gpiochip_find("tegra234-gpio-aon",
				   tegra_get_gpiochip_from_name);
else
	return -ENODEV;

This means for every future addition of the compatible string, if else
condition statements have to be expanded.

With the property:
gpio_ctrl = of_parse_phandle(dev->of_node, "nvidia,gpio-controller", 0);
....
hte_dev->c = gpiochip_find(gpio_ctrl, tegra_get_gpiochip_from_of_node);

This simplifies the code significantly. The introdunction of this
property/binding does not break existing Tegra194 provider driver.

The point is that of_device_is_compatible() do not really scale and make
code more difficult to read. Your variant-customization should in
general entirely come from match/driver data.

Your bindings commit msg focused on driver and it is not really what it
should be about.

I have to revert this part back in next patch as when I upgraded dtsschema it gave me errors.

Perhaps I should not have mentioned driver related details here about how
this property will help, that detail will go in driver patch. In the next
patch series I will remove this commit and just focus on what this property
is.

Regardless of this commit, driver match data is the way to go, not
of_device_is_compatible().

I think the point that Rob and Krzysztof are trying to make that rather
than adding a new property for this, we can add a const char *gpio field
to struct tegra_hte_data and then set that to the compatible string of
the GPIO controller that we need this for.

To be honest, I slightly prefer the explicit phandle reference, but it
also complicates things a bit and looking up by compatible string isn't
all that bad.

We need the 0x0 in the DTS files because we have #address-cells = <2>
and #size-tells = <2>. For the examples, those default to just 1 cell,
so this can't be an exact copy of what we have in the DTS files.

Please make sure to always validate the bindings and examples.

This means it will have to track the label of the gpio controller and for each
new provider, we have to touch the driver to set the char *field. Also, I think
having gpio controller property in the DT presents/describes the tegra HTE provider
perfectly as it does have hard dependency on the tegra gpio controller.
