I believe we should convert them to -1.

I believe it was designed for Intel hardware and so it can't be higher
than 512 - ngpios, where the latter one is small enough (dozen or a
couple of dozens of pins).

This is for testing, so the test cases should be amended accordingly.
But I think the module itself is deprecated, and gpio-sim seems not
using it as a modprobe parameter, but rather as configfs.

To answer this one needs to go via all board files (most of them ARM
32-bit based) and look, but it means almost the same case as per Intel
above: 512-ngpios.

I think, w/o looking into the code, that this just guarantees the
continuous numbering for all banks (chips) on the platform.

Device Tree?!
