This rewrites the U300 GPIO driver using gpiolib and the irq_chip
abstractions, makes it runtime-configured rather than compile-time,
and moves it to the drivers/gpio subsystem where it belongs,
depopulating the ARM tree of one more driver.

If this and other platform-specific GPIO drivers are going to be
moved to the drivers/gpio subsystem, the Kconfig and Makefile should
probably be updated to reflect this.

In drivers/gpio/Kconfig:

#
# platform-neutral GPIO infrastructure and expanders
#

And in drivers/gpio/Makefile:

# generic gpio support: dedicated expander chips, etc
#
# NOTE: platform-specific GPIO drivers don't belong in the
# drivers/gpio directory; put them with other platform setup
# code, IRQ controllers, board init, etc.

The Makefile should probably be reordered, either alphabetically
or grouped by type (arch/mmio/i2c/spi/pci/etc) and then
alphabetically in order to reduce merge conflicts.

Regards,
Hartley
