I suppose you plan to directly pass-through the GPIO device to L4Linux?
In that case you have to grant L4Linux access to the MMIO regions
related to the GPIO device. This has to be done in io's configuration
file. The second step is to pass L4Linux a matching device tree where
the resources of the GPIO device are declared.

Best,
Matthias.
