This is a refactoring attempt that may not work as I can't test it (it compiles), but you sure can see what I want to happen in the SIRF driver.
By registering the GPIO range from the gpiochip side we can get rid of the static globals and be a nice kernel citizen. See further Documentation/driver-model/design-patterns.txt.
