Overall this conceptually makes sense, and looks good. Some comments though:

If this will be fully standardized, perhaps we should just choose a
standard property name, rather than allowing different drivers to do
different things.

Perhaps "gpio-map"?

Add a space after the /

Looks like double indentation througout this block?

Perhaps devm_kfree(ranges) here so that if this is called multiple times
due to deferred probe, the allocations from the failed attempts don't
accumulate. Same for other error paths.

Of course, there is the outstanding question of whether this API will
exist and how it will work.

I think you can of_node_put(np_gpio) here, before the error-check for
ranges[i].gc, to avoid having to do it in all the error paths below.

Do you need to xxx_get(ranges[i].gc) to prevent it going away, and put()
it when removing the ranges?

These are all unsigned, so most of those conditions can never be true.

Perhaps replace the remaining check with:

	gpio_offset + npins > ranges[i].gc->ngpio

to make sure the range isn't too long either

I think we should also store ranges somewhere separate in pctldev ...

> +				   unsigned nranges)

... so that this function doesn't need ranges/nranges passed to it; it
can just get them out of pctldec.

Or better yet, what if pinctrl_unregister automatically removed any
ranges registered by pinctrl_dt_add_gpio_ranges, so this function
doesn't even need to exist?
