This sounds reasonable to me.

The problem my patch solved was that -EPROBE_DEFER was returned regardless of lookup-error in of_get_named_gpiod_flags, not that -EPROBE_DEFER error was not passed on.

The issue with multiple gpiochips per of-node could be worked around as followed I believe, comments?
