A fine example of two platform-specific notions.  First, that GPIO signals

that there's even a one-to-one association between pins and GPIOs ... I'll
repeat the previous example of OMAP1, where certain GPIOs could come out on
any of several pins.  And where some pins can be muxed to work with more
than one GPIO (but only one at a time, of course).  Clearly, neither pin
refcounting nor GPIO claiming can be sufficient to prevent such problems ...

So, you're saying that if GPIOA1 can come out on pins ZZ1 and BB6, then there would be two unique "GPIO numbers", one for each possibility?
