I have found what went wrong.

There was upstream commit e2c5eb78a3cc9b0d69ae924c33da50a4cd6d1fa4 which
did fix these ranges, but we didn't get really aware of this change.

Almost at the same time we rearranged the device tree file as described - starting with
our local copy which we thought to be correct.

During rearrangement we found a discrepancy between what we had been working on
before and what we did find in linux/master. So we did falsely assume that we were right
and not linus/master and need to upstream this diff later on (which never happened). Hence
the diff was added to the second &gpmc node starting to make problems in 4.7-rc1.

So you are right that we should try to get rid of the ranges / reg modification, if it passes tests.
And hopefully the gpio problem disappears with this.

BR and thanks for pinpointing us to this code location,
Nikolaus
