Commtech adapters need the MPIOs for internal purposes, and the
gpio-exar driver already refused to pick them up. But there is actually
no point in even creating the underlying platform device.

It still feels that partially you may do stuff here, like
renaming to
__xr17v35x_register_gpio()
and creating
xr17v35x_register_gpio() wrapper.

Sorry, that remains unrelated to the topic of this patch and would be
unclean. If you want me to pull those refactorings out of patch 9, I
need to write a separate patch - no problem.

Okay, I would go with separate patch, if maintainers are okay with
this approach.
