SFP support predated (in my tree) the deprecation of the -gpio suffix,
and despite the SFP binding doc being sent for review, it didn't get
reviewed so the issue was never picked up.

My understanding is that GPIO will continue to accept either -gpio or
-gpios for ever, so there shouldn't be any issue here - so converting
all instances of -gpio to -gpios should be doable without issue.

My feels are it _is_ useful to show the consumer side in examples.
