gpiolib: dynamic gpio number allocation
If gpio_chip->base is negative during registration, gpiolib performs dynamic base allocation. This is useful for devices that aren't always present, such as GPIOs on hotplugged devices rather than mainboards. (This behavior was previously specified but not implemented.) To avoid using any numbers that may have been explicitly assigned but not yet registered, this dynamic allocation assigns GPIO numbers from the biggest number on down, instead of from the smallest on up.
