This patch is wrong.

Keep this per-compatible code, and only overrid the ngpios
if and only if:

- The ngpios is set in the DT node
- The ngpios in the DT node is *smaller* than the hardware
  defined number of GPIOs.

ngpios is for restricting the number of available lines due to
routing etc, not to define what the hardware has, because the
hardware most certainly have all the lines, it's just that you're
not using all of them.
