I am saying that you dont need this new APIs, GPIO framework already 
support this via the call gpiochip_get_data(chip); which you provided 
when adding gpiochip().

Nop, it will not work. The reason is:
include/dt-binding/gpio/tegra186-gpio.h


#define TEGRA_MAIN_GPIO(port, offset) \
         ((TEGRA_MAIN_GPIO_PORT_##port * 8) + offset)


so in your DTS file, if you use this macro for the gpio number then you 
will have pin per port as 8.
And so your total GPIO is 23 *8 (Port CC) but in source code ngpio is 
very less.
