For Linux we can call bgpio_init() three times and
devm_gpiochip_add_data() three times on the result and if we use the
approach with three cells (where the second is instance 0,1,2 and the
last one the offset 0..31) then it will work all just the same I guess?

foo-gpios <&gpio 2 7 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

for offset 7 on block 2 for example.

We need a custom xlate function I suppose.

It just has not been done that way before, everybody just did
2-cell GPIOs.
