[PATCH RFC 0/2] gpiolib: of: Introduce hook for missing gpio-ranges

[Stefan Wahren]

This patch series tries to provide backward compatibility for DTB which
lacks the gpio-ranges property.

The commit ("pinctrl: msm: fix gpio-hog related boot issues") by Christian
Lamparter already contains a fallback in case the gpio-ranges property
is missing. But this approach doesn't work on BCM2835 with a gpio-hog
defined for the SoC GPIOs.

Based Christian's on explanation i conclude that the fallback must happen
during the gpiochip_add() call and not afterwards. So the approach is to
call an optional hook, which can be implemented in the platform driver.

This series has been tested on Raspberry Pi 3 B Plus.
