This commit message is not at all describing what the patch is doing.
What it does is bumping the GPIO pin offset in the Linux global
GPIO number space with 32 for each new controller.

Why can you not rewrite the driver to pass -1 as base and
get a dynamic allocation of GPIO numbers instead? Then
you won't have this hairy problem.
