I Keep the old way to get range in order to keep compatibility with older device tree (if no gpio ranges are defined).


Why are you doing this?

There is already code in drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c to pick ranges
from the device tree and add when you're adding the GPIO chips.

Yes, If I declare gpio-ranges inside DT node, the range is well handled by the gpiolib. But in this condition I use gpio-ranges entry to get the pin base offset for the bank we are registering. For example, if there an hole between 2 banks (GPIOA, GPIOD, ...) I need to know at which pin offset the bank D starts. It is the only way I found.

The "else" statement is here to get compatibility with older device tree (which don't use gpio-ranges entry).

Alex



Please use that or figure out what is needed to make it work for
you instead of reimplementing it.

Yours,
