Output on K2G:

Before
======

cat /debug/gpio
gpiochip1: GPIOs 0-143, parent: platform/2603000.gpio, davinci_gpio.0:

gpiochip2: GPIOs 144-211, parent: platform/260a000.gpio, davinci_gpio.1:
 gpio-156 (                    |cd                  ) in  lo

gpiochip0: GPIOs 484-511, parent: platform/2620240.keystone_dsp_gpio,
2620240.keystone_dsp_gpio:

 ls /sys/class/gpio/
export       gpiochip0    gpiochip144  gpiochip484  unexport

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip0/label
davinci_gpio.0

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip144/label
davinci_gpio.1

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip144/ngpio
68
/ # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip0/ngpio
144


After
=====

 cat /debug/gpio
gpiochip2: GPIOs 272-339, parent: platform/260a000.gpio, 260a000.gpio:
 gpio-284 (                    |cd                  ) in  lo

gpiochip1: GPIOs 340-483, parent: platform/2603000.gpio, 2603000.gpio:

gpiochip0: GPIOs 484-511, parent: platform/2620240.keystone_dsp_gpio,
2620240.keystone_dsp_gpio:

ls /sys/class/gpio/
export       gpiochip272  gpiochip340  gpiochip484  unexport


cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip340/label
2603000.gpio
/ # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip272/label
260a000.gpio
/ # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip272/label

cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip272/ngpio
68
/ # cat /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip340/ngpio
144

In the case of SoCs that support multiple instances of Davinci GPIO IPs
it is harder to figure out the right gpio number to export.

Totally agree with this.
