The name of this function confuses me, can we name it something
like:

pinctrl_gpio_is_in_some_chip_but_no_range()

Which is actually what you test, right?

Handle if chip happens to become NULL here.

If you change the name of the function like above this call can be understood,
but maybe also add a comment above this call explaining the situation.
