You seem to keep asking variants of this question, but
the answer remains the same. That GPIO controller is there
only to handle specific requirements of the virt board
(triggering a power-off or reset). It is not usable for
general purposes, so you don't need to work with it at all.
The EL3 firmware will use it as it needs to (eg when you
make an ACPI request for a power down).
