Agreed.

That sounds like duplication indeed, I would expect that first a patch
adds the ranges to the dts[i] files and then a second patch delete the
same ranges from the pinctrl driver then, if these shall come in from
the device tree.

With GPIO ranges being possible to register from the pin controller,
gpio chip and also the device tree, things get a bit complex
admittedly :/ sorry for this, just choose one.
