The document got re-ordered by adding new information.
st,syscfg is not a new field, we use it for getting hold of regmap instance.
I will re-check if this addition was due to some white spaces.

Its used for bank label.

On ST chips the gpio banks are named irregularly in some instances.
They are named like PIO0, PIO1 , PIO100, PIO101 and so on. Same naming
is used across board schematics too, so Its easy for debugging if we
have this consistency in the driver as well.
As node names are in pio@address format, which are not same as
bank-names in the datasheet.

This was suggested when I first submitted the driver.
The intention here was to describe the mapping between pinctrl (parent)
node and the gpio bank(children) nodes.
I will fix the document for this too in next version.

I agree, this should be a local variable.

I agree, this should be a local variable too.

I agree, there is a possibility of missing interrupt here, doing similar
to what you suggested makes sense.

Great, I can get rid of this function and use generic xlate function
instead.

Ok, got it.
