Note that the mapping tables are likely not going to end up being
huge, and taking that step will allow you to convert to the gpiod
interface, something you would probably want to do later when adding
DT support anyway. So at the end of the day there would be very little
wasted effort: once converting to DT, just add the GPIO properties
into the appropriate node, remove the mapping tables, and you're done.
