The GPIO drivers for BCM2711 are subtly different from the others, and thus
don't quite work. I have some config.txt hacks to turn on I2C, but ideally we
should fix the drivers.

I keep on failing to get time to do this, and getting my head around FDT is
an obstacle.

Some looking around has shown a couple of problems:
1) Register differences in BCM2711 - should be easy to fix with a bit of time
2) We don't use the in-tree FDT files on the RPi's. Needs fixing if we are to
   be able to tweek them without manual recompilation.
