MCP23S18 driver probe failures on AM62L3 BeagleBadge[0].

Fix MCP23S18 probe failures found with BeagleBadge which has a MCP23S18
on board chip. Fixes are made up of initializing chip data before regmap
init, and using device_property_read_u8 to match binding spec. First fix
prevents kernel oops and second fix prevents MCP chip probe failure.

Changes since v1:
- Add #define for base address & use instead of 0x40 hardcode base address
- Add patch 2/2

  pinctrl: mcp23s08: Initialize mcp->dev and mcp->addr before regmap
    init
  pinctrl: mcp23s08: Read spi-present-mask as u8 not u32

Regmap initialization triggers regcache_maple_populate() which attempts
SPI read to populate cache. SPI read requires mcp->dev and mcp->addr to
be set, without them, NULL pointer dereference occurs during probe.

Move initialization before mcp23s08_spi_regmap_init() call.

The binding (microchip,mcp23s08) specifies microchip,spi-present-mask
as uint8, but driver would read u32, causing type mismatch. Use
device_property_read_u8 to match binding spec, hardware (8 chips max),
& prevent probe failure.
