Allows to populate the gpio_regmap_config structure with request() and

Yeah, I understand the intention, but I have mixed feelings about this.
OOH it helps with the cases like yours, OTO it sounds like a hack instead
of proper implementation of the pin muxing. Yes, I know there are some
drivers in the kernel do similar things, but it most likely historically
and not always having the same HW capabilities as this chip.
