pinctrl/gpio: non-linear GPIO ranges accesible from gpiolib
This patch adds the infrastructure required to register non-linear gpio ranges through gpiolib and the standard GPIO device tree bindings. Signed-off-by: Christian Ruppert <christian.ruppert@abilis.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
