gpio: davinci: use controller-specific MMIO for BINTEN

This commit makes gpio_base local to davinci_gpio_probe() and derives the
BINTEN register address from the controller's mapped bank rather than a
file-global variable.

[Severity: Critical]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but can a large ti,ngpio
value overflow offset_array[] and chips->regs[] [1]?

When ti,davinci-gpio-unbanked is set, nirq is taken from gpio_unbanked
rather than DIV_ROUND_UP(ngpio, 16), so the nirq > MAX_INT_PER_BANK check
never bounds ngpio:

drivers/gpio/gpio-davinci.c:davinci_gpio_probe() {
	...
	if (gpio_unbanked)
		nirq = gpio_unbanked;
	else
		nirq = DIV_ROUND_UP(ngpio, 16);

	if (nirq > MAX_INT_PER_BANK) {
		dev_err(dev, "Too many IRQs!\n");
		return -EINVAL;
	}
	...
	nbank = DIV_ROUND_UP(ngpio, 32);
	for (bank = 0; bank < nbank; bank++)
		chips->regs[bank] = gpio_base + offset_array[bank];
	...
}

If ngpio exceeds 160, nbank exceeds 5 (MAX_REGS_BANKS), and the loop reads
past the end of offset_array[] and writes out-of-bounds into chips->regs[],
corrupting memory in struct davinci_gpio_controller.
