This doesn't look right to me. Looking at the documentation of
gc->fwnode and how it is used, the purpose of this is to allow
explicitly overriding the fwnode that the GPIO chip will use.

So really this should not be used beyond the initial registration
in gpiochip_add_data_with_key(). If the above patch fixes anything,
then I suspect somebody is using gc->fwnode outside of this
registration.

Looking at gpiolib, the only remaining place that seems to do this is
the gpio-reserved-ranges handling code, in which case, the below on top
of my initial patch might fix that. That might explain why MSM is still
seeing issues.

I don't have a good idea about the Lenovo X13 issue, though, but I
haven't looked at ACPI at all since I don't have any hardware to test
on.
