I suspect that if that limit is a real thing it's from some runtime
performance metrics where people are doing benchmarking to verify that
everything is working fine rather than an absolute thing that is a basic
requirement for operation.

Yes, definitely submit the basic stuff separately - the GPIO changes can
be reviewed as a separate, incremental patch.
