Changes in v5 from the cover letter

* Remove the 'firmware' property from the binding as suggested by Rob Herring. The firmware node is the parent of the gpio node, so use of_get_parent() instead of a phandle.

Cover letter [PATCH v5 0/5] gpio: driver for the RPi3 GPIO expander

The Raspberry Pi 3 has a GPIO expander that controls, among others, the activity LED, and the camera connector GPIOs. The GPIO expander on an I2C bus that is not directly controlled from the ARM core. The VC4 firmware controls the I2C bus, and allows the ARM core to set/get GPIO settings over its mailbox interface.

This series adds support for the RPi3 expander.

The driver is ported from the downstream kernel at
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/, branch rpi-4.9.y.

This series is based on commit v4.16-rc2.

Changes in v5:

* Remove the 'firmware' property from the binding as suggested by Rob Herring. The firmware node is the parent of the gpio node, so use of_get_parent() instead of a phandle.

Changes in v4:

* Move the gpio expander node under the firmware node; this requires an addtional patch that makes the firmware node into a bus
* Rename the gpio node to just 'gpio'
* Drop the platform driver .owner set

Changes in v3:

* Kconfig tweaks
* Check rpi_exp_gpio_get_polarity() return value
* Redundant header removal
* Redundant platform_set_drvdata() call removal
* Small coding style changes

Changes in v2:

* Driver renamed to gpio-raspberrypi-exp
* Compatible string renamed to "raspberrypi,firmware-gpio"
* Firmware error check
* Smaller tweaks listed in individual patches
