I wonder if you couldn't just use gpiochip_generic_request() /
gpiochip_generic_free() unconditionally here. AFAIU, these don't do
anything when there are no GPIO ranges defined (so should not
interfere with non-pinctrl linked devices), as well as nothing when
CONFIG_PINCTRL isn't enabled, so they should be NOPs if there is no
pinctrl link, and do the right thing if there is one.
