[RFC PATCH 1/5] gpio: generic: add a generic register wrapper for MMIO and PMIO

[Jose Javier Rodriguez Barbarin]

For adding support to port-mapped devices within gpio_generic_chip, a new
data type is required for passing to read_reg() and write_reg()
callbacks as I/O port-mapped and memory-mapped registers use different
data types.

Introduce a new struct gpio_chip_reg to encapsulate mmio addresses and
I/O port numbers.
