Yes, there are two reasons:
1. I need some place to insert the huge comment, which you snipped. ;-)
2. I didn't want to break current users. That is, the line you purpose
("of_gc->chip = &of_gc->gc;") should be inserted to every of_gpio
controller. Most of them use of_mm_gpiochip_add(), so these are easy.
But some (mcu_mpc8349emitx.c) are doing things by themselves.
