gpio: fix probe() error return in gpio driver probes

A number of drivers in drivers/gpio return -ENODEV when confronted with
missing setup parameters such as the platform data.  However, returning
-ENODEV causes the driver layer to silently ignore the driver as it
assumes the probe did not find anything and was only speculative.

To make life easier to discern why a driver is not being attached, change
to returning -EINVAL, which is a better description of the fact that the
driver data was not valid.

Also add a set of dev_dbg() statements to the error paths to provide an
better explanation of the error as there may be more that one point in the
driver.
