What about the hundreds of board files and device drivers that still reference hardcoded gpio numbers? The problem seems mostly solved for anything that uses DT, but there are some architectures and a number of ARM platforms that don't use DT and probably never will. I would assume they could all be changed to use gpiod_lookup tables, but that's a lot of work.
