Previously, drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-nomadik.c registered two
platform drivers: pinctrl & GPIO. Move the GPIO aspect to the
drivers/gpio/ folder, as would be expected.

Both drivers are intertwined for a reason; pinctrl requires access to
GPIO registers for pinmuxing, pull-disable, disabling interrupts while
setting the muxing and wakeup control. Information sharing is done
through a shared array containing GPIO chips and a few helper
functions. That shared array is not touched from gpio-nomadik when
CONFIG_PINCTRL_NOMADIK is not defined.

Make no change to the code that moved into gpio-nomadik; there should be
no behavior change following. A few functions are shared and header
comments are added. Checkpatch warnings are addressed. NUM_BANKS is
renamed to NMK_MAX_BANKS.

It is supported to compile gpio-nomadik without pinctrl-nomadik. The
opposite is not true.

Patch applied.

It's good to get this move done, then we can iron out minor issues to
the GPIO part in the GPIO tree as we move along.

I will send the patches to Bartosz with an optional pull request for
this immutable branch.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
