No it does not, it is a three-layer cake.
scmi <-> scmi_pinctrl <-> scmi_gpio
it refers to the scmi_pinctrl node.
There is no SCMI GPIO protocol, instead SCMI is using the
operations already available in the pin controller to exercise
GPIO. Generic pin control has operations to drive lines for
example, and Takahiro is adding the ability for a generic pin
controller to also read a line.
