This patch series reworks the Nomadik GPIO driver to bring it up to date
to current kernel standards. We then add Mobileye EyeQ5 support that
uses the same IP block but with limited functionality. We also add
features required by our newly supported platform:

 - Dynamic GPIO ID allocation;
 - Make clock optional;
 - Shared IRQ (usecase: EyeQ5 has two banks using the same IRQ);
 - Handle variadic GPIO counts (usecase: EyeQ5 has <32 GPIOs per bank);
 - Grab optional reset at probe (usecase: EyeQ5 has a shared GPIO reset).

This GPIO platform driver was previously declared & registered inside
drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-nomadik.c, side-by-side with the
pinctrl driver. Both are tightly integrated, mostly for muxing reasons.
Now that gpio-nomadik is used for another platform, we loosen the
relationship. The behavior should not change on already supported
hardware but I do not have Nomadik hardware to test for that.

I have queued the relevant patches to an immutable branch in the
pinctrl tree for testing and I can also pick up some ACKs if they arrive.

When I'm confident in the branch, I will send an optional pull request
to Bartosz for it!

That is all great news, thanks Linus! I'm staying available if you
encounter anything that needs action.

Have a nice day,
