Similar to gpiochip_generic_request() and gpiochip_generic_free() the
gpiochip_generic_config() function needs to handle the case where there
are no pinctrl pins mapped to the GPIOs, usually through the gpio-ranges
device tree property.
Commit f34fd6ee1be8 ("gpio: dwapb: Use generic request, free and
set_config") set the .set_config callback to gpiochip_generic_config()
in the dwapb GPIO driver so the GPIO API can set pinctrl configuration
for the corresponding pins. Most boards using the dwapb driver do not
set the gpio-ranges device tree property though, and in this case
gpiochip_generic_config() would return -EPROPE_DEFER rather than the
previous -ENOTSUPP return value. This in turn makes
gpio_set_config_with_argument_optional() fail and propagate the error to
any driver requesting GPIOs.
Fixes: 2956b5d94a76 ("pinctrl / gpio: Introduce .set_config() callback for GPIO chips")

Hi Linus,
I didn't add your rb since I don't think
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PINCTRL) && list_empty(&gc->gpiodev->pin_ranges))
will work when the pin_ranges member is only there then when
CONFIG_PINCTRL is defined and it seemed like your rb was on the
condition that I used that.

I was wrong about that!
