Not sure we need this. I would rather think that something inside struct
gpiochip_fwd should track this. OTOH, I understand that you want to have
sparse lists perhaps. I;m wondering why GPIO valid mask can't be used for
this purposes?

The bottom line is that I'm fine with this change without additional checks,
add them when function will be used not only in the original loop.
