Nasty cast.  Can the signature for gpiochip_find be changed to accept
a (const void *)?

I think so, this too comes from the bus code.

Looks like it can't be const as of_node_to_gpiochip uses it with
a struct device_node * that for of_get_named_gpio_flags comes from
of_parse_phandle_with_args.

Really? It sees to work fine here:

Hmm right you are. I must have missed adding the const to
of_gpiochip_is_match, that's good news :)

Want to do that as a separate patch or want me to fold it in?

I've got it as a separate commit in my gpio/next branch.

g.
