Then you are doing something wrong. Look in pinctrl-iproc-gpio.c:

/*
 * Request the Iproc IOMUX pinmux controller to mux individual pins to GPIO
 */
static int iproc_gpio_request(struct gpio_chip *gc, unsigned offset)
{
        struct iproc_gpio *chip = gpiochip_get_data(gc);
        unsigned gpio = gc->base + offset;

        /* not all Iproc GPIO pins can be muxed individually */
        if (!chip->pinmux_is_supported)
                return 0;

        return pinctrl_request_gpio(gpio);
}

static void iproc_gpio_free(struct gpio_chip *gc, unsigned offset)
{
        struct iproc_gpio *chip = gpiochip_get_data(gc);
        unsigned gpio = gc->base + offset;

        if (!chip->pinmux_is_supported)
                return;

        pinctrl_free_gpio(gpio);
}

So as you see pinctrl_request_gpio() and pinctrl_free_gpio()
are being called.

These will in turn call pinmux_request_gpio() and
pinmux_free_gpio() to make the backing pin controller
mux in the pin as GPIO.

pinmux_request_gpio() will end up in pin_request()
and at this point:

if (gpio_range && ops->gpio_request_enable)
                /* This requests and enables a single GPIO pin */
                status = ops->gpio_request_enable(pctldev, gpio_range, pin);

As you can see: it will attempt to call the .gpio_request_enable()
method of your struct pinmux_ops.

But your pinmux ops look like this:

+static struct pinmux_ops ns2_pinmux_ops = {
+       .get_functions_count = ns2_get_functions_count,
+       .get_function_name = ns2_get_function_name,
+       .get_function_groups = ns2_get_function_groups,
+       .set_mux = ns2_pinmux_enable,
+};

I.e. there is no way that GPIO can be set up as a GPIO line,
and you're relying on some other pin control entries in the
device tree to do that, which is unnecessarily complicated.

Please consider implementing the .gpio_request_enable callback
for this pin multiplexer.
