Currently for CONFIG_GPIO_GENERIC=y each struct gpio_chip object
contains the fields relevant only for gpio-mmio users. It's not an
insignificant number either as it's several pointers and integers.
It makes sense to remove these fields from struct gpio_chip into a
dedicated structure but this is not trivial due to how the bgpio_init()
function is implemented.
Add a task for tracking this rework.

- move GPIO ACPI quirks into a separate file
- remove unneeded #ifdef
- convert GPIO devres helpers to using devm_add_action() where applicable

take off the burden from GPIO drivers of checking this down the line

"We have three new drivers, some refactoring in the GPIO core, lots of

drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-at91.c uses struct gpio_chip::base to find out
which bit to set in a register:
dev_dbg(npct->dev, "enable pin %u as GPIO\n", offset);
mask = 1 << (offset - chip->base);
This adds a non-obvious dependency on the global numberspace from the
GPIO driver itself, even if all consumers use the descriptor API.
More such instances may exist and will need to be fixed in the quest for
removal of the global numberspace, so add a reminder about it to the
TODO list.

extending the existing ABI with a per-chip export/unexport attribute

While there are surely some arguments in favor of integrating the GPIO
and pinctrl subsystems into one, I believe this is not the right
approach.
The GPIO subsystem uses intricate locking with SRCU to handle the fact
that both consumers and providers may run in different contexts.
Pin-controller drivers are always meant to run in process context. This
alone is a huge obstacle to any attempt at integration as evident by
many problems we already encountered during the hotplug rework.
The current glue code is pretty minimal and for most part already allows
GPIO controllers to query pinctrl about the information they need.
I suggest to drop this task and keep the subsystems separate even if
many pin-controllers implement GPIO functionality in addition to pin
functions.

This is a rarely used feature that has nothing to do with the
client-side of_gpio.h.
Split it out with a separate header file and Kconfig option
so it can be removed on its own timeline aside from removing

Intel Moorestown and Medfield are quite old Intel Atom based
32-bit platforms, which were in limited use in some Android phones,
tablets and consumer electronics more than eight years ago.
There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel
for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real
users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. The commit
05f4434bc1 ("ASoC: Intel: remove mfld_machine") also in align
with this theory.
Due to above and to reduce a burden of supporting outdated drivers
we remove the support of outdated platforms completely.
Moreover this code duplicates gpio-pxa since the IP has been derived
from XScale implementation. If anybody wants to resurrect this
it has to be part of gpio-pxa.c.

Now that all gpiolib irqchip users have been over to use
the irqchip template, we can finally retire the old code
path and leave just one way in to the irqchip: set up the

This brings this work to a conclusion, there is now one
