That statement was made regarding adding a "connector" component into the DT, which would describe a hardware connector in the system. The connector component would allow describing what came to it, and in the above discussion was specifically to allow configuring GPIOs in the DT that otherwise would not have a component to connect to, and thus would not be able to be exported to userspace in the DT. My "(such as...)" comment was indicating that other components than just GPIOs might be included in the connector, and hence there might be some implications there. Would there be initialization or dependencies that would have to be handled? I don't know, but my thought at the time was that it might get complicated.
