As I've started doing more and more lately, I'll hijack this
patch to discuss the general approach..

I have a feeling that you'll get some comments about
this match list growing, especially since the driver data
is already filled in dt (gpio-ranges).. perhaps we can improve
this..

Especially considering the "qcom,spmi-gpio" fallback is there
(unless we care about 2015 DTs like 0804308fdd3c) that are
unlikely to still work nowadays. Old DTs also used interrupts=<>
to list out all the GPIOs (among the other SPMI fluff) individually
(see e.g. 5f540fb4821a).

Krzysztof, WDYT? Would it be worth taking all of that old junk into
account, or should we keep it as-is?
