[PATCH v7 0/4] Enable Remote GPIO over RPMSG on i.MX Platform

[Shenwei Wang <shenwei.wang@nxp.com>]

Support the remote devices on the remote processor via the RPMSG bus on
i.MX platform.

Changes in v7:
 - Reworked the driver to use the rpmsg_driver framework instead of
   platform_driver, based on feedback from Bjorn and Arnaud.
 - Updated gpio-rpmsg.yaml and imx_rproc.yaml according to comments from
   Rob and Arnaud.
 - Further refinements to gpio-rpmsg.yaml per Arnaud's feedback.

Changes in v6:
 - make the driver more generic with the actions below:
     rename the driver file to gpio-rpmsg.c
     remove the imx related info in the function and variable names
     rename the imx_rpmsg.h to rpdev_info.h
     create a gpio-rpmsg.yaml and refer it in imx_rproc.yaml
 - update the gpio-rpmsg.rst according to the feedback from Andrew and
   move the source file to driver-api/gpio
 - fix the bug reported by Zhongqiu Han
 - remove the I2C related info

Changes in v5:
 - move the gpio-rpmsg.rst from admin-guide to staging directory after
   discussion with Randy Dunlap.
 - add include files with some code improvements per Bartosz's comments.

Changes in v4:
 - add a documentation to describe the transport protocol per Andrew's
   comments.
 - add a new handler to get the gpio direction.

Changes in v3:
 - fix various format issue and return value check per Peng 's review
   comments.
 - add the logic to also populate the subnodes which are not in the
   device map per Arnaud's request. (in imx_rproc.c)
 - update the yaml per Frank's review comments.

Changes in v2:
 - re-implemented the gpio driver per Linus Walleij's feedback by using
   GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP helper library.
 - fix various format issue per Mathieu/Peng 's review comments.
 - update the yaml doc per Rob's feedback
