Before commit 156460811def ("soc: fsl: qe: Change GPIO driver to a
proper platform driver") qe_add_gpiochips() was walking the device
tree to find all nodes with compatible "fsl,mpc8323-qe-pario-bank".

After that commit the discovery is handled by the platform core,
therefore it is necessary to call of_platform_default_populate() on
the par_io node.

No, node name must not be ABI. Especially wrong node name.

What's wrong with the node name ?

Regardless, I messed it up, I wanted to use type but copy/pasted of_find_node_by_name(NULL, "par_io") from quirk_mpc8360e_qe_enet10() in arch/powerpc/platforms/83xx/km83xx.c instead.

Is it OK to use of_find_node_by_type(NULL, "par_io") instead ?

We have:

$ git grep par_io arch/powerpc/boot/dts/
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8568mds.dts: par_io@e0100 {
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8568si-post.dtsi: par_io@e0100 {
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8568si-post.dtsi: device_type = "par_io";
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8569mds.dts: par_io@e0100 {
