This really isn't the same thing, especially when you look at:

config ARCH_NR_GPIO
        int
        default 1024 if ARCH_BRCMSTB || ARCH_SHMOBILE || ARCH_TEGRA || \
                ARCH_ZYNQ
        default 512 if ARCH_EXYNOS || ARCH_KEYSTONE || SOC_OMAP5 || \
                SOC_DRA7XX || ARCH_S3C24XX || ARCH_S3C64XX || ARCH_S5PV210
        default 416 if ARCH_SUNXI
        default 392 if ARCH_U8500
        default 352 if ARCH_VT8500
        default 288 if ARCH_ROCKCHIP
        default 264 if MACH_H4700
        default 0

This has the effect of causing anything not mentioned above to end up
with ARCH_NR_GPIOS set to zero.

You really should _not_ be making these kinds of functional changes
when moving code around.  Separate the two changes: either first move
the code, and have a separate patch to make the functional changes, or
make the functional changes first, and then move the code around.

I'd have thought you would've known this by now...
