+* Freescale BCSR GPIO banks
+
+Some BCSR registers act as simple GPIO controllers, each such
+register can be represented by the gpio-controller node.
+
+Required properities:
+- compatible : Should be "fsl,<board>-bcsr-gpio";
+- reg : Should contain the address and the lenght of the GPIO bank
+  register;
+- #gpio-cells : Should be two. The first cell is the pin number and the
+  second cell is used to specify optional paramters (currently unused);
+- gpio-controller : Marks the port as GPIO controller.
+
+Example:
+
+	bcsr@1,0 {
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <1>;
+		compatible = "fsl,mpc8360mds-bcsr";
+		reg = <1 0 0x8000>;
+		ranges = <0 1 0 0x8000>;
+
+		bcsr13: gpio-controller@d {
+			#gpio-cells = <2>;
+			compatible = "fsl,mpc8360mds-bcsr-gpio";
+			reg = <0xd 1>;
+			gpio-controller;
