I thought about removing it, but in this driver there are 2
devm_gpiochip_add_data() calls.
It registers 2 GPIOchip instances.
Which is not so easy to see in this patch.

First one says "could not add gpio a" and this one says "could not add gpio b".
I hesitated to remove either of these.

In this case, it may be a little helpful to know which GPIOchip failed
to be registered.

But I don't mind removing them both.
Whatever you prefer. I'm undecided.
