gpiolib: separation of pin concerns
The fact that of_gpiochip_add_pin_range() and gpiochip_add_pin_range() share too much code is fragile and will invariably mean that bugs need to be fixed in two places instead of one. So separate the concerns of gpiolib.c and gpiolib-of.c and have the latter call the former as back-end. This is necessary also when going forward with other device descriptions such as ACPI. This is done by: - Adding a return code to gpiochip_add_pin_range() so we can reliably check whether this succeeds. - Get rid of the custom of_pinctrl_add_gpio_range() from pinctrl. Instead create of_pinctrl_get() to just retrive the pin controller per se from an OF node. This composite function was just begging to be deleted, it was way to purpose-specific. - Use pinctrl_dev_get_name() to get the name of the retrieved pin controller and use that to call back into the generic gpiochip_add_pin_range(). Now the pin range is only allocated and tied to a pin controller from the core implementation in gpiolib.c. Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
