That's why I have introduced the "ngpios" property support and marked the
"snps,nr-gpios" as deprecated here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/22/1298
to encourage the later one from being used in favor of the first one. So I
suggest for you to convert your dts'es (if you have ones) to using the
"ngpios" property anyway.

Personally I'd prefer to convert all the dts-es to using the "ngpios' instead of
the vendor-specific property. That's why I haven't fixed the problem the way you
suggest in the first place, to encourage people to send the patches with such
fixes. Anyway it's up to the OF-subsystem maintainers to decide whether to accept
this quirk.
