[PATCH 2/7] ARM: shmobile: r8a7740 dtsi: Add missing "gpio-ranges" to gpio node

If a GPIO driver uses gpiochip_add_pin_range() (which is usually the
case for GPIO/PFC combos), the GPIO hogging mechanism configured from DT
doesn't work:

    requesting hog GPIO lcd0 (chip r8a7740_pfc, offset 176) failed

The actual error code is -517 == -EPROBE_DEFER.

The problem is that PFC+GPIO registration is handled in multiple steps:
  1. pinctrl_register(),
  2. gpiochip_add(),
  3. gpiochip_add_pin_range().

Configuration of the hogs is handled in gpiochip_add():

    gpiochip_add
        of_gpiochip_add
            of_gpiochip_scan_hogs
                gpiod_hog
                    gpiochip_request_own_desc
                        __gpiod_request
                            chip->request
                                pinctrl_request_gpio
                                    pinctrl_get_device_gpio_range

However, at this point the GPIO controller hasn't been added to
pinctrldev_list yet, so the range can't be found, and the operation fails
with -EPROBE_DEFER.

To fix this, add a "gpio-ranges" property to the gpio device node, so
the range is added by of_gpiochip_add_pin_range(), which is called by
of_gpiochip_add() before the call to of_gpiochip_scan_hogs().
