Andy can provide more details on this patch here are some quick
remarks:

Instead of hardcoding the GPIO base and offsets like this, use:

#include <linux/gpio/machine.h>

and define a descriptor table using the name of your gpiochip.
There should be examples of other board quirks doing this.
I have already patched gpio-leds.c to accept LEDs from
descriptor tables, see commit
commit 45d4c6de4e497e5b0026c77044ae5fcddf8fecd8
"leds: gpio: Try to lookup gpiod from device"
