I haven’t dealt with fwnode never :$ BTW, this is done to fix this check when parsing gpio ranges: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/f69d02e37a85645aa90d18cacfff36dba370f797/drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c#L933-L934Use struct fwnode_handle pointer instead of OF-specific one.But is that compatible with the current gpiolib-of code? :$
Yes (after a bit of amendment I have sent today as v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-gpio/20210304150215.80652-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com/T/#u (local)).

Also here is the question, why do you need to have that field in the regmap config structure and can't simply use the parent's fwnode? Also I'm puzzled why it's not working w/o this patch: GPIO library effectively assigns parent's fwnode (okay, of_node right now).Because gpio regmap a child node of the pin controller, which is the one probed (gpio regmap is probed from the pin controller). Therefore the parent’s fwnode is useless, since the correct gpio_chip node is the child's one (we have pin-ranges declared in the child node, referencing the parent pinctrl node).
I see. Can you point me out to the code where we get the node and where it's being retrieved / filled? -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
