Hi Andrew and sorry for a slow review process, I've been
overloaded :(

Overall this is a very very nice looking driver so expect it to
be merged after addressing or answering my last few
concerns.

I think you also need
depends on / select GPIOLIB
select OF_GPIO

x86_64 allmodconfig is usually the best way to test
if your GPIOs and pin control fragments are correctly Kconfig:ed.

Thanks for being clear on the defines and not using magic
values. This makes things so much easier for people
using and maintaining the driver!

This -gpio_range is the only thing that bothers me a little, combined with
this:

> + bank->gpio_range.gc = &bank->gpio_chip;
> + pinctrl_add_gpio_range(pctl->pctldev, &bank->gpio_range);

Because it adds the ranges from the pinctrl side instead of
doing it from the gpiochip side using
gpiochip_add_pin_range() or gpiochip_add_pingroup_range().

Have you tried using those (from <linux/gpio/driver.h> instead?

They have the upside that .base is taken from the gpio_chip
meaning it is unnecessary to define .base for the gpiochip
too and you can just go for what gpiolib dynamically assigns
for you.

And this will then be done automatically by gpiochio_remove().

Is it necessary to have it registered so early?

Apart from these, as noted it looks very nice.
