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().

This patch (1) applied to the GPIO tree.
Please apply the rest through the ARM SoC tree!
Could you please help pick the rest patch of this series? Otherwise, the i.MX GPIO driver will NOT
be enabled by default and it will block kernel boot.

Thanks,
Anson
