Since commit 2ab73c6d8323 ("gpio: Support GPIO controllers without pin-ranges")
the device tree nodes of GPIO controller need the gpio-ranges property to
handle gpio-hogs. Unfortunately it's impossible to guarantee that every new
kernel is shipped with an updated device tree binary.

In order to provide backward compatibility with those older DTB, we need a
callback within of_gpiochip_add_pin_range() so the relevant platform driver
can handle this case.
