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.

This blocked a huge number of i.MX boards booting with latest linux-next kernel.
Would you help pick it ASAP?
