The GPIO mouse device does not have any in-kernel users.

This series converts it to use descriptors, adds device tree
bindings and adds device tree probing so it can be used for
embedded target etc without proper mouse ports.

An alternative is to simply delete the driver. But I took
pity in it and I am also worried that the number of out-of-tree
users could be pretty large.

Hans-Christian: can you express your idea for the future of
this driver? Does this look all right to you? Do you want to
add some users in some device trees maybe?
