[PATCH v2] gpio: set device type for GPIO chips

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

It's useful to have the device type information for those sub-devices
that are actually GPIO chips registered with GPIOLIB. While at it: use
the device type struct to setup the release callback which is the
preferred way to use the device API.

v1-> v2:
- make struct device_type constant
