Yes, in drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-xo175-ec.c.

Your mistake is the gpiod api takes just 'cmd' as the GPIO core handles 
both forms.

The preference is it is always '-gpios' just like it's always 
'interrupts' or 'clocks'.

However, whether to change this is really up to the OLPC folks. Given 
the driver has always supported both forms, it should be okay to change 
the dts. Though there could be other users besides the kernel.
