GPIO
The old sysfs GPIO interface is deprecated and will be phased out of the kernel. As part of this the base offset of GPIO ports has been omitted in the kernel. Setting the base GPIO number to zero will result in a boot up error on kernels from 6.6. At the same time, the sysfs interface to the GPIOs has been deprecated - some distributions have already disabled it and are expecting users to go through libgpiod. In 6.6, high-numbered GPIOs - probably still available by sysfs, but eventually that will be switched off.
Query GPIO ports
From 6.5 onwards, the Pi kernel is not forcing a base GPIO for the main GPIO driver. Whilst the sysfs API is still enabled, the base GPIOs will change. The dynamic assignment generally starts at 512 and counts down. If you really need to track down a GPIO using sysfs, look through /sys/class/gpiochipN/ for a device with an appropriate label or ngpio, and then use base to determine the GPIO number.
