We need to check if number of gpio is positive if there is no
such check in devicetree or acpi or whatever called before
gpiochip_add.

I suppose that devicetree and acpi do not allow insert gpiochip
with zero number but I do not know if it is enough to ignore
this check in gpiochip_add.

Print a warning with chip_err(chip, "tried to insert a GPIO chip with
zero lines\n");

Yours,
