[PATCH 0/6] Add support for software nodes to gpiolib

This series attempts to add support for software nodes to gpiolib, using
software node references. This allows us to convert more drivers to the
generic device properties and drop support for custom platform data.

To describe a GPIO via software nodes we can create the following data
items:

/* Node representing the GPIO controller/GPIO bank */
static const struct software_node gpio_bank_b_node = {
.name = "B",
};

/*
* Properties that will be assigned to a software node assigned to
* the devicei that used platform data.
*/
static const struct property_entry simone_key_enter_props[] = {
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U32("linux,code", KEY_ENTER),
PROPERTY_ENTRY_STRING("label", "enter"),
PROPERTY_ENTRY_REF("gpios", &gpio_bank_b_node, 123, GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW),
{ }
};

The code in gpiolib handling software nodes uses the name in the
software node representing GPIO controller to locate the actual instance
of GPIO controller.

Note that kbuild robot is likely to complain about this patchset because
it depends on patches removing [devm_]gpiod_get_from_of_node() and
devm_fwnode_get_[index_]gpiod_from_child() APIs that are still pending.
I pushed them to

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git tmp-gpiolib

for your reference.
