No. We do not tie the global GPIO numbers into the device tree. In the DT GPIOs are referenced by ampersand <&gpio0 1 2> notation referring to the instance, so as you realize DT itself has no need for that number. Further it is not OS-neutral. You have to find another way to handle this in the driver code. In worst case: use AUXDATA.
