The translation into the GPIO_LOOKUP() macros isn't sufficiently direct,
with platform data it's just a case of putting the same data in a
different file but with this you need to figure out what the GPIO bank
is called which won't appear in the diff typically.  Someone will
doubtless want to finish up the gpiod_ transition at some point but it's
not yet at the point where it's worth blocking unrelated cleanups for
it.
