Ok, I was thinking that we should not call gpiochip_add() from the pin
control driver in any new driver
No that is not the case.

There are many combined pinctrl+GPIO drivers that register
both pinctrl devices and gpio_chip and also irq_chip.

When the driver and hardware does multiple things like that
in the same register range it is usually best to put the combined
driver in drivers/pinctrl.
So this gpio driver can be moved now to the pincntrl folder and can use
pincontrol and gpio framework.
Thanks!

Linus Walleij
