Tony - 

These gpio-ranges are correct for all the platforms that included
am33xx-l4.dtsi.

I think it makes sense to add gpio-ranges properties as they describe
the relationship between a gpio line and pin control register that
exists in the hardware.

Are there changes you would like to see in this patch?

Thanks,
Drew
