Actualy it used in 2 places:
- In the switch case of `tps6594_gpio_regmap_xlate`
- In `tps6594_pinctrl_probe` when setting `reg_dir_out_base`

I already sent a v5 with this change but I managed to fail my .config
and this driver was not compiled... and it is not compiling... I feel so
stupid.

I need to send a v6 now anyway. Should I convert all
TPS6594_REG_GPIO1_CONF to TPS6594_REG_GPIOX_CONF(0)?
