Yes, the driver supports being used as pin controller with the
"bias-pull-up;" property now. For example I use this with a RPi
to enable pull-ups for all pins:

gpio21: gpio@21 {
compatible = "microchip,mcp23017";
gpio-controller;
#gpio-cells = <0x2>;
reg = <0x21>;
interrupt-parent = <&socgpio>;
interrupts = <0x17 0x8>;
interrupt-names = "mcp23017@21 irq";
interrupt-controller;
#interrupt-cells = <0x2>;
microchip,irq-mirror;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&i2cgpio0irq &gpio21pullups>;

gpio21pullups: pinmux {
pins = "gpio0", "gpio1", "gpio2", "gpio3",
"gpio4", "gpio5", "gpio6", "gpio7",
"gpio8", "gpio9", "gpio10", "gpio11",
"gpio12", "gpio13", "gpio14", "gpio15";
bias-pull-up;
};
};
