Add support for Airoha EN7581 GPIO System Controller which provide a
register map for controlling the GPIO, pinctrl and PWM of the SoC.

Schema define cells for both gpio/interrupt controller and PWM.
Moreover it provides a dedicated pinctrl node for pins and config
definitions.

This whole thing is just about pins.

The MFD portion of this submission doesn't do anything.

Hi Lee,

thanks for the review. I think you missed the other series as it was
requested to use MFD implementation due to shared register map.

Please rework this to omit the MFD driver.

I'm a bit confused by this you mean in the schema? Putting PWM property
in a pinctrl schema looks wrong to me :(

After just a glance, it looks like simple-mfd _might_ work.

Simple-mfd works if register map are well defined and you can have
something like
- parent define the whole register
- child can user reg property to register offset and subsection of the
  parent register

Here it's all mixed and scrambled and also it was requested to have a
very simple node that include both pwm and pinctrl property (cause that
is how the HW register block is designed and schema must reflect HW)

Hope you can understand these reasons.

Thinking very quickly before I have to rush off.

Have you considered syscon?
