And if the property returns 0 in ngpios?

What about the modified suggestion from previous version:

if (gc->ngpio == 0) {
ret = device_property_read_u32(&gdev->dev, "ngpios", &ngpios);
/*
* -ENODATA means that there is no property found and
* we want to issue the error message to the user. Besides
* that, we want to return different error code to state
* that supplied value is not valid.
*/
if (ret == -ENODATA)
ngpios = 0;
else if (ret)
return ret;

gc->ngpio = ngpios;
}

if (gc->ngpio == 0) {
chip_err(gc, "tried to insert a GPIO chip with zero lines\n");
ret = -EINVAL;
goto err_free_descs;
}

?
