[PATCH 0/5] RTL8231 GPIO expander support

The RTL8231 GPIO and LED expander can be configured for use as an MDIO or SMI
bus device. Currently only the MDIO mode is supported, although SMI mode
support should be fairly straightforward, once an SMI bus driver is available.

Provided features by the RTL8231:
- Up to 37 GPIOs
- Configurable drive strength: 8mA or 4mA (currently unsupported)
- Input debouncing on high GPIOs (currently unsupported)
- Up to 88 LEDs in multiple scan matrix groups
- On, off, or one of six toggling intervals
- "single-color mode": 2×36 single color LEDs + 8 bi-color LEDs
- "bi-color mode": (12 + 2×6) bi-color LEDs + 24 single color LEDs
- Up to one PWM output (currently unsupported)
- Fixed duty cycle, 8 selectable frequencies (1.2kHz - 4.8kHz)

There remain some log warnings when probing the device, possibly due to the way
I'm using the MFD subsystem. Would it be possible to avoid these?
[ 2.602242] rtl8231-pinctrl: Failed to locate of_node [id: -2]
[ 2.609380] rtl8231-pinctrl rtl8231-pinctrl.0.auto: no of_node; not parsing pinctrl DT

When no 'leds' sub-node is specified:
[ 2.922262] rtl8231-leds: Failed to locate of_node [id: -2]
[ 2.967149] rtl8231-leds rtl8231-leds.1.auto: no of_node; not parsing pinctrl DT
[ 2.975673] rtl8231-leds rtl8231-leds.1.auto: scan mode missing or invalid
[ 2.983531] rtl8231-leds: probe of rtl8231-leds.1.auto failed with error -22

Changes since RFC:
- Dropped MDIO regmap interface. I was unable to resolve the Kconfig
dependency issue, so have reverted to using regmap_config.reg_read/write.
- Added pinctrl support
- Added LED support
- Changed root device to MFD, with pinctrl and leds child devices. Root
device is now an mdio_device driver.
