From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

As a preparation for multiplatform support, this ensures
that the ep93xx gpio driver can be built without any of
the platform specific header files. We pass the IRQ numbers
as a resource now, and use the virtual mmio base from the
already existing resource, rather than relying on the
hardwired virtual address from the header file.

Some numbers are now hardcoded that came from macros
in the past, but for all I can tell, the driver already
relied on the specific values.

Arnd/other ARM SoC person:
Please provide an ACK for this patch so I can merge it
with the rest of the refactorings into the GPIO tree.

Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Did I send the patch to you, or did you find it in old archives?

You sent it at one point as we discussed modernizing EP93xx :)

I seem to finally start to get somewhere with that. Ground-up...

Normally I'd assume that my authorship implies the Ack,
but I guess it's ok to also explictly say that I'm ok with this
going through your tree.

It's more of a handshake with ARM SoC so you folks know
this is going on.

Thanks!
