Change config to tristate, add module device table, module author, description and license to support module build for i.MX GPIO driver. As this is a SoC GPIO module, it provides common functions for most of the peripheral devices, such as GPIO pins control, secondary interrupt controller for GPIO pins IRQ etc., without GPIO driver, most of the peripheral devices will NOT work properly, so GPIO module is similar with clock, pinctrl driver that should be loaded ONCE and never unloaded. Since MXC GPIO driver needs to have init function to register syscore ops once, here still use subsys_initcall(), NOT module_platform_driver(). Signed-off-by: Anson Huang <redacted>
This patch made it into linux-next, but none of the other patches in the series did. This results in a variety of boot failures in -next. Not that it is my concern, but "without GPIO driver, most of the peripheral devices will NOT work properly" makes me wonder if building this driver as module is really expected to work anywhere.
