I have a feeling this driver will evolve quite a bit and eventually
register a pure pinctrl interface as well (currently it's only using
the ranges as some data container...)

Anyway, it's a good starting point and obviously (I guess?)
gets your hardware up an ticking, so let's take this as a
starting point.

So patch applied.

This thing only seems to use gpiolib-acpi.c for the basic
device matching and IRQ handling backend, is that correct?

What I'm thinking of moving forward is that I have seen
ACPI fragments with things like "PullUp" etc, which is pinctrl
domain, so we may come to need some generic ACPI helpers
inside drivers/pinctrl as well sooner or later.
