Perhaps rather than making the existing gpiod API automatically search
for both -gpios and -gpio, we could make a new API for the other suffix,
so that driver indicate explicitly which property name they want. That
way, someone can't accidentally write -gpio in the DT and have it still
work. Or, add a parameter to the existing API, but that's probably a lot
more churn.
