i'm not hard set one way or the other.  so if you prefer to keep the existing 
syntax, then that's OK.  however, you should de-gpio-ify the names.  so 
instead of "URJ_CABLE_PARAM_KEY_GPIOTDO", use "URJ_CABLE_PARAM_KEY_TDO".  that 
way other drivers can easily re-use them without feeling bad that they arent a 
GPIO cable driver.
