I think it should also define compatible strings on the "vendor,device" format apart from the generic compatible. Sooner or later we may need to differentiate them and then that comes in handy. > + - gpio-controller : Marks the device node as a GPIO controller. > + - #gpio-cells : Should be two.

If you didn't do "pisosr-gpio" but instead "foo,sn74165", maybe you don't need to have this in the device tree but instead it can be determined from the compatible string?

OK seems necessary.
