The gpiochip_add_data() takes care of setting the of_node to the parent's
device of_node, hence there is no need to do it manually in the driver's
code. This patch corrects the parent's device pointer and removes the
unnecessary setting of the of_node.

The [1] says that gpio_chip.parent should point at the "device providing
the GPIOs". That's the pdev->dev.parent in the case of this driver.
MAX77620 is an MFD PMIC device that has virtual sub-devices like GPIO
controller, PINCTRL and RTC. The MFD is the parent device that provides
the GPIOs [2].

[2]
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.8-rc3/source/arch/arm64/boot/dts/nvidia/tegra210-p2180.dtsi#L48

I think the old code was wrong and this patch is correct, please correct
me if I'm missing something.

Yes, physical device I believe.

Hmm... I have checked through GPIO drivers I have knowledge of / care
about and PMIC ones do like you suggested in this patch, the rest
(which are instantiated from MFD) take a virtual platform device.

Looking at DT excerpt I think you're rather right than wrong, so I
leave it to you and maintainers.
Thanks!

Okay, waiting for the maintainers then :)

Thank you very much for the review!
