I think I need linux/gpio.h for gpiochip_add_pin_range and some related
APIs.

I understand. Further investigation is needed and this may take a while,
since a lot of our Cygnus drivers depend on GPIO and regulators (and all
need to be converted to check against deferred probe errors). If
possible, I'll definitely fix this.
