In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpios" refers to the second GpioIo()
resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31.
+It is possible to leave holes in the array of GPIOs. This is useful in
+cases like with SPI host controllers where some chip selects may be
+implemented as GPIOs and some as native signals. For example a SPI host
+controller can have chip selects 0 and 2 implemented as GPIOs and 1 as
+native:
+
+ Package () {
+ "cs-gpios",
+ Package () {
+ ^GPIO, 19, 0, 0, // chip select 0: GPIO
+ 0, // chip select 1: native signal
+ ^GPIO, 20, 0, 0, // chip select 2: GPIO
+ }
+ }

+Other supported properties
+--------------------------
+
+Following Device Tree compatible device properties are also supported by
+_DSD device properties for GPIO controllers:
+
+- gpio-hog
+- output-high
+- output-low
+- input
+- line-name
+
+Example:
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ // _DSD Hierarchical Properties Extension UUID
+ ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),

+ Package () {
+ Package () {"gpio-hog", 1},
+ Package () {"gpios", Package () {8, 0}},
+ Package () {"output-high", 1},
+ Package () {"line-name", "gpio8-pullup"},
+ }
+ })
+
+- gpio-line-names
+
+Example:
+
+ Package () {
+ "gpio-line-names",
+ Package () {
+ "SPI0_CS_N", "EXP2_INT", "MUX6_IO", "UART0_RXD", "MUX7_IO",
+ "LVL_C_A1", "MUX0_IO", "SPI1_MISO"
+ }
