OK...

This is quite hard for those not using pinctrl to understand, maybe someone
wants to use the request/free callbacks for something else in the
future.

Can't you:

- Add a variable bool uses_pinctrl to struct pl061_gpio

- Use the bool check:

if (of_property_read_bool(np, "gpio-ranges"))
  chip->uses_pinctrl = true;

- Alter the code in pl061_gpio_request() to do like this:

if (chip->uses_pinctrl)
   pinctrl_request_gpio()

And the same for pl061_gpio_free().

Yours,
