I know that we can bikeshed this until dawn of time, but we are dealing
here with data coming from the system firmware and a singleton device,
so it should be all available pretty early in boot sequence. I
understand we want to solve the "race" even though it is purely
theoretical, but we should be able to figure out what gpios are
supported and construct the groups array(s) before registering the
platform driver. Or do we see that runtime costs of constricting groups
dynamically outweigh space wasted by unused groups?

Thanks.
