ngpios? Where is this parameter parsed? Is there a description for it
in the Documentation?

^^ I assume this GPIO only has input? Is this right?
If so you can specify the following dt property:

no-output;

So, all gpios can only be inputs.

Same as above.

I think you should could either add a parser for the ngpios property.
by adding of_property_read_u16(&pdev->dev, "ngpios", &gc->ngpio);
in the right place. or remove the property.

Maybe you could add this entry above the wd,mbl-gpio.
So it's in alphabetical order. That's said, it's fine
the way it is.
