One thing to note is that this driver is used by keystone too and all
its users are DT-only. Although I do not see any in-kernel DT GPIO users
even there.

I can confirm the patch does not break my gpiolib based test module
(test with and without DT), but then it did not have an issue even before.

Thanks,
