Use gpio_generic_chip_init() to set up the PPC44x GPIO chip...
instead of open-coding the basic get, set, locking and state handling.
Keep the PPC44x-specific direction callbacks because they still need to
program ODR and the OSR/TSR registers around the generic data and
direction registers.

in the beginning of the series. My thinking is that's for older kernels.
I believe either the generic API or devm_gpiochip_add_data fixes this.
