Just in case, 

    gpio-ranges = <&scmi_pinctrl 0 10 5>;

means that SCMI *pin* range [10..(10+5-1)] are mapped to this driver's
gpio range [0..(5-1)]. So any consumer driver can access a gpio pin
as:
    foo-gpios = <&gpio0 3>;

will refer to gpio pin#3 that is actually SCMI's 13.

    gpio-ranges = <&scmi_pinctrl 5 0 0>;
    gpio-ranges-group-names = "pinmux_gpio";

means that SCMI *group*, "pinmux_gpio", are mapped to this driver's
gpio range which starts with 5. If "pinmux_gpio" indicates SCMI *pin*
range [20..24],

    baa-gpios = <&gpio0 7>;
will refer to gpio pin#7 that is actually SCMI's 22 (=20 + (7-5)).

This way, we (consumer drivers) don't care what is the underlying pin
controller.
