Thank you.

[ Even if this driver isn't switched to the unified device property API,
  I think "depends on OF" would be enough here, because it doesn't use
  the code that's guarded by CONFIG_OF_GPIO (gpiolib-of.c), but this
  applies to other drivers (e.g. gpio-aspeed, gpio-bcm-kona) as well, so
  this would ideally be a bigger cleanup patch. ]

I don't think this change is worth making, unless/until the of_property
API is deprecated. I'm rather sure this GPIO controller won't appear in
an ACPI-based system.
