OK great, below is my patch updated against gpio/next if you
want to pick it up.

Subject: [PATCH] gpiolib: Add gpiochip_find_by_name() and gpio_find_by_chip_name()

Currently there is no way for drivers to request a GPIO on a particular
gpio chip using platform data. This makes it hard to support multiple
GPIO controllers with platform driver with dynamic GPIO and interrupt
numbering, such as with CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ.

Let's make it easier for platform device drivers to find GPIOs on a
specific gpio_chip by adding two functions: gpiochip_find_by_name()
and gpio_find_by_chip_name().

Note that these functions should not be used with device tree as
pointed out by Grant Likely <grant.likely at secretlab.ca> as the names
are instantiated from device tree.

As gpiochip_find() is already exported, we may as well export
gpiochip_find_by_name() too.
