It looks like I stumbled across the only case where this isn't true.
What I was seeing, and which ultimately led me to implement the compact
numberspace is that gpiochip_add_data() calls ->get_direction() directly
without first going through ->request(). We'd have to guard that one
case as well in order for this to work.
In T186, we have 8 pins per PORT and for some of ports, all pins are not
available. Like Port A has 7 pins valid (0 to 6) and port E have 8 pins
(0 to 7). The great part is that each port has valid pins start from 0.
So just having the number of valid pins for each port as part of SOC
data will help to find out whether GPIO exist or not.
int port = GPIO_PORT(offset);
int pin = GPIO_PIN(offset);
if (pin >= tgi->soc->port[port].valid_pins)
return false;
Similar logic can be used for APIs which can get called without
gpio_request().
