pinctrl subsystem needs gpio chip base to prepare set of gpio
pin ranges, which a given pinctrl driver can handle. This is
important to handle pinctrl gpio request calls in order to
program a given pin properly for gpio operation.
As gpio base is allocated dynamically during gpiochip
registration, presently there exists no clean way to pass this
information to the pinctrl subsystem.
After few discussions from [1], it was concluded that may be
gpio controller reporting the pin range it supports, is a
better way than pinctrl subsystem directly registering it.

of_get_named_gpio_flags() and of_get_named_gpio() return -EPROBE_DEFER if the
respective GPIO is not (yet) available. This is useful if driver's probe()
functions try to get a GPIO whose controller isn't probed yet. Thus, the driver
can be probed again later on.
The function still returns -EINVAL on other errors (parse error or node doesn't
exist). This way, the case of an optional/intentionally missing GPIO is handled
appropriately.

Make of_get_named_gpio_flags propagate any error it receives from
of_parse_phandle_with_args instead of inconditionally returning -EINVAL.

This patch changes the of_xlate API to make it possible for multiple
gpio_chips to refer to the same device tree node. This is useful for
banked GPIO controllers that use multiple gpio_chips for a single
device. With this change the core code will try calling of_xlate on
each gpio_chip that references the device_node and will return the
gpio number for the first one to return 'true'.

The code in drivers/of/gpio.c isn't shared by any other subsystem since it
is all gpiolib specific. drivers/gpio is a better place to maintain these
functions.
