That's an awful but hopefully safe hack to support 3-4 broken GPIO
drivers, however it should work with a correction given by Sylvain.

Here I would recommend to expand the statement, so it will be easier
to simplify it in future:

  if (chip->gpiodev->dev.of_node != gpiospec->np)
          return 0;

  if (chip->of_xlate(chip, gpiospec, NULL) < 0)
          return 0;

  return 1;

As far as I can say it should work correctly with of_gpio_simple_xlate(),
brcmstb_gpio_of_xlate(), lpc32xx_of_xlate(), davinci_gpio_of_xlate(),
pxa_gpio_of_xlate() and etraxfs_gpio_of_xlate() flavours.
