I was a bit afraid this would break the case of gpio controllers that are
also pin controllers, i.e. where "gpio-ranges" points to the gpio controller
itself[*], but it doesn't.

Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

[*] E.g. "[PATCH 2/7] ARM: shmobile: r8a7740 dtsi: Add missing "gpio-ranges"
to gpio node" (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg43077.html)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Geert
