gpio: better lookup method for platform GPIOs
Change the format of the platform GPIO lookup tables to make them less confusing and improve lookup efficiency. The previous format was a single linked-list that required to compare the device name and function ID of every single GPIO defined for each lookup. Switch that to a list of per-device tables, so that the lookup can be done in two steps, omitting the GPIOs that are not relevant for a particular device. The matching rules are now defined as follows: - The device name must match *exactly*, and can be NULL for GPIOs not assigned to a particular device, - If the function ID in the lookup table is NULL, the con_id argument of gpiod_get() will not be used for lookup. However, if it is defined, it must match exactly. - The index must always match.

And the table can be added by the board code as follows:

The driver controlling "foo.0" will then be able to obtain its GPIOs as follows:
