..

This is a bit unclear why you moved to that place and how it had been tested.

My logic tells me that if you need to call gpiochip_add_pin_ranges() before
calling of_gpiochip_add(). It won't collide right now, but allows to cleanup
further (with the gpio-ranges parser be generalized for fwnodes and be moved
to gpiolib.c from gpiolib-of.c).
