This of_device_ensure_probed() will bring you into the very same loop
again. Better call this loop from outside gpiochip_add(). We could
add a gpio_ensure_probed() which executes this loop. That would be
called from some initcall, or maybe from board code when gpios are
needed before this initcall.
