pinctrl: samsung: Use one GPIO chip per pin bank
This patch modifies the pinctrl-samsung driver to register one GPIO chip
per pin bank, instead of a single chip for all pin banks of the
controller.
It simplifies GPIO accesses a lot (constant time instead of looping
through the list of banks to find the right one) and should have a good
effect on performance of any bit-banging driver.
In addition it allows to reference GPIO pins by a phandle to the bank
node and a local pin offset inside of the bank (similar to previous
gpiolib driver), which is more clear and readable than using indices
relative to the whole pin controller.
Example:
device {
/* ... */
gpios = <&gpk0 4 0>;
/* ... */
};
