I think it simply does not fit together.

Grant & me has been claiming the GPIO sysfs interface is a bit
crazy from time to time.

My long-term plan would be to replace it with /dev/gpio/gpioN
device nodes per-gpiochip and use ioctl etc to control these
beasts instead. However one does not do that overnight,
and my life is too busy, and other refactorings also need to
happen :-/
