Yes, you are right. You are adding a gpiochip, so you need GPIOLIB.

It should be okay to skip direction_input, because gpiolib will return an error
if it is not available. This is exactly why IMO you need a direction_output
returning 0. Otherwise drivers checking if that operation was successful, might
be fooled.
