I considered it when we first added support for GPIOs to this driver but
decided not to. The reason being that we want to to tell user-space that
the device has gpio capability even if the GPIOs are currently muxed (in
EEPROM) for other functionality.

I'd say this is mostly useful for hotpluggable devices with EEPROM
configuration and is probably best handled by the drivers.

"GPIO.n" are the actual pin names from the datasheet (cf. ftdi_sio which
use "CBUSn" here). It's just a debug statement anyway.
