Ah, just realised that this won't work if it happens to request to GPIOs with
the same index but different communities. I will fix that in v3, but will wait
for Hans to test VLV and it might even work in most of the cases on CHV as it
seems quite unlikely that the above mentioned assertion is going to happen in
real life.
