The OF gpio infrastructure is great for describing GPIO connections within the device tree. However, using a GPIO binding still requires changes to the gpio controller just to add an of_gpio structure. In most cases, the gpio controller doesn't actually need any special support and the simple OF gpio mapping function is more than sufficient. Additional, the current scheme of using of_gpio_chip requires a convoluted scheme to maintain 1:1 mappings between of_gpio_chip and gpio_chip instances. If the struct of_gpio_chip data members were moved into struct gpio_chip, then it would simplify the processing of OF gpio bindings, and it would make it trivial to use device tree OF connections on existing gpiolib controller drivers. This patch eliminates the of_gpio_chip structure and moves the relevant fields into struct gpio_chip (conditional on CONFIG_OF_GPIO). This move simplifies the existing code and prepares for adding automatic device tree support to existing drivers.
