Which means that the overlays was applied.
I've spent a few hours yesterday to find how to use this module and
the result is we can't. The reason is that the driver is at an higher
bus pass number than the parent (gpiobus) so the driver isn't probed
and is removed from the child list of gpiobus, meaning that it's never
added later.
ian@ and I agreed that it the driver would need to be rewritten
because of this and because you cannot use gpio from different banks as
it needs to be a children of one gpio controller.
So the TLDR is : right now this driver is useless (at least on FDT
system).

Nope it's not needed, overlays are processed by loader(8).
