Hello Krzysztof,

Yes, I've gone full circle on that issue. Here's what I tried so far:

 1) Reuse the same gpio names: Duplicates errors of the past, Krzysztof
    doesn't like it.
 2) Different gpio names for new driver only: Makes the driver code
    overly complicated, Yilun doesn't like it.
 3) Change gpio names for both drivers, deprecate the old names: Makes
    the DT binding and the driver code overly complicated, Rob doesn't
    like it.

I think that while the driver code shouldn't be the driving force for
the DT spec, it can be a good indication that the spec is unpractical to
implement.

In this case, there are two interfaces on a chip that uses the same GPIO
protocol, it would only make sense that they use the same names, this
discards solution #2.

That leaves us with #1 or #3, which is to ask if the added complexity to
the driver code and DT binding is worth it for a gain in naming
convention.

There might also be another solution that I haven't seen.

Regards,
Charles
