This is legency device, which more than 10 years. It use simple-bus
to probe children gpio devices. pinctrl have not use it.

Yes, it is wrong to use simple-bus in old driver and dts
drivers/gpio/gpio-mxs.c

It is not worth to fix driver and dts for such old lagency devices. Although
chip is still shipping, we have not board to test it.

It is just a index, which are not use by drivers. But need it to dts build
issue.
