I've reproduced the problem on TM2e board and the patch below fixes
it (old code always initialized the structure, new code does it only
in case GPIO properties are provided).

I've also tested the new code (with fixup) on Artik5 board (which
actually uses GPIO properties) and discovered the other problem,
the GPIO core code doesn't handle shared GPIOs which are used by
many platforms.

Old code:
[    1.094950] s2mps11-pmic s2mps14-regulator: Using GPIO 21 for ext-control over 10/LDO11
[    1.095210] s2mps11-pmic s2mps14-regulator: Using GPIO 21 for ext-control over 11/LDO12

New code (with fixup):
[    1.114288] s2mps11-pmic s2mps14-regulator: Using GPIO for ext-control over 10/LDO11
[    1.143209] s2mps11-pmic s2mps14-regulator: Failed to get control GPIO for 11/LDO12

[ It fails with -EBUSY on gpiod_request() in gpiod_get_from_of_node(). ]

Therefore it seems that more work is needed before s2mps11 driver
can be converted to use GPIO descriptors.
