Patch applied.

We have some drivers like this:
drivers/gpio/gpio-pl061.c:

        if (of_property_read_bool(dev->of_node, "gpio-ranges")) {
                pl061->gc.request = gpiochip_generic_request;
                pl061->gc.free = gpiochip_generic_free;
        }

Should we just make a patch assigning these callbacks
unconditionally as a follow-up?
