Nack.  Several problems here.  First and foremost there isn't any
description of *why* this change is needed or when it was removed.
Any patch beyond the most trivial change needs to have a commit
message the describes it.

Second, of_node_to_gpiochip() is no longer a valid API because gpiolib
now allows multiple gpiochips to use the same device tree node.  See
commit 3d0f7cf0f "gpio: Adjust of_xlate API to support multiple GPIO
chips" to see a description of why this was changed.
