This adds ability to use gpio API at board init_machine level.

F.e. it can be used in the following situation.
Many reference hardware has onboard switches that selects which periferals
to connect to the system. The gpio input state from switches can be used
in choosing platform devices runtime in board code instead of ifdefs/defconfig
changes.

Firstly, anyone still using platform_devices to describe their
system needs to be stopped. We cannot go on supporting this when
our primary boot method is supposed to be device-tree. If we keep
doing this then we will not get any of the current issues fixed.

Will it impact the devicetree bindings on rcar?
