Not only clrbits32() but also setbits32() and in_be32().

On the long run we want to get rid of PPC specific IO helpers, at least 
outside arch/powerpc/ , so don't add new instances.

Remove that dependency by switching to ioread32be() which has been 
equivalent to in_be32() since commit 894fa235eb4c ("powerpc: inline 
iomap accessors"), then implement a local equivalent of 
clrbits32()/setbits32()

See for instance:
- qe_setbits_be32() in include/soc/fsl/qe/qe.h
- tsa_clrbits32() in drivers/soc/fsl/qe/tsa.c

Not gpio-ppc4xx.c but gpio-ppc44x.c

I'd prefer CONFIG_GPIO_PPC44X

That was added by 878e7556bfe7 ("powerpc/4xx: Add PowerPC 4xx GPIO 
driver") but since then 40x is gone with commit 47d13a269bbd 
("powerpc/40x: Remove 40x platforms.") so only 44x remains as depicted 
by commit 7bf5f0562b62 ("powerpc: Replace CONFIG_4xx with CONFIG_44x")
