Can you add this to the apq8016-sbc.dtsi file instead? Probably
we should fold the two files together, but so far nothing goes
into the .dts file besides compatible string and model for the
board.

This never happens?

This is not in the patch?

And also not use phandles and put the gpio-line-names into the
node at the correct path?
