You should add something to your Kconfig including:

select GPIOLIB
select OF_GPIO

or so... or depends on. You certainly need them.

OK so several GPIO chips as subnodes, why not one device per
chip? Or have we discussed this before? It seems a bit weird,
apparently there is just one node with a gpio-controller, as you're
just adding one pin range.

What happens if there would be two gpio-controllers? The second
is just ignored without error?

Can't you use devm_gpiochip_add_data()?

Why can't you put the range(s) into the device tree?

We already have code in drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c to do this
for you. And generic range definition bindings.
