Perhaps these "holes" means that they are reserved for use by one of the
other subsystems in the SoC - similar to how we have
gpio-reserved-ranges in the TLMM. Because according to the PMS8155AU
documentation and the schematics, there's no physical holes there.

As such, the binding and driver should not describe these "holes". If
they aren't used by Linux, then the DT won't reference them - and if
there's reasons for prohibiting Linux from touching the registers we
should use gpio-reserved-ranges, as this will depend on firmware
configuration.
