Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: meson: mark the GPIO controller as sleeping

The GPIO controller is configured as non-sleeping but it uses generic pinctrl helpers which use a mutex for synchronization.

This can cause the following lockdep splat with shared GPIOs enabled on boards which have multiple devices using the same GPIO:
