You're right, it is a linear mapping. We use it so references to GPIO
numbers are human readable in the device tree:

#define ASPEED_GPIO(port, offset) \
        ((ASPEED_GPIO_PORT_##port * 8) + offset)

can be used:

                identify {
                        gpios = <&gpio ASPEED_GPIO(A, 2) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
                };

We find that has cut down on mistakes in calculating offsets into GPIO banks.

Cheers,

Joel
