That's pretty neat!

nice!

If you instead of deleteing this, just wrap it inside
something like:

if (!of_property_read_bool(np, "gpio-ranges") {
  (...)
}

You will stay compatible with elder device trees, solving Björns
issue. You will only be adding hogs to newer device trees with
the ranges defined anyway.

Be genereous with comments in the code if you choose this
approach so everyone realize what is going on.
