Hi, I am now working on an approach for mikroBUS based on the apprach 
described here: [1]


I am thinking of the gpio-controller approach you seem to have used 
here. So I wanted to inquire if there already exists a gpio-controller 
driver that can create a proxy controller that forwards stuff to the 
underlying actual controller. So something like the following:


&mikrobus_gpio: gpio {

     gpio-controller;

     #gpio-cells = <2>;

     gpios = <&gpio1 0>, <&gpi2 1>;

};


spi {

     cs-gpios = <&mikrobus_gpio 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

};


There does exist gpio0-virtio, but that seems to be for vm context.
