Linus Walleij bd3ce71078 gpiolib: of: Handle threecell GPIO chips
When describing GPIO controllers in the device tree, the ambition
of device tree to describe the hardware may require a three-cell
scheme:

gpios = <&gpio instance offset flags>;

This implements support for this scheme in the gpiolib OF core.

Drivers that want to handle multiple gpiochip instances from one
OF node need to implement a callback similar to this to
determine if a certain gpio chip is a pointer to the right
instance (pseudo-code):

struct my_gpio {
    struct gpio_chip gcs[MAX_CHIPS];
};

static bool my_of_node_instance_match(struct gpio_chip *gc
                                      unsigned int instance)
{
    struct my_gpio *mg = gpiochip_get_data(gc);

    if (instance >= MAX_CHIPS)
        return false;
    return (gc == &mg->gcs[instance]);
}

probe() {
    struct my_gpio *mg;
    struct gpio_chip *gc;
    int i, ret;

    for (i = 0; i++; i < MAX_CHIPS) {
        gc = &mg->gcs[i];
        /* This tells gpiolib we have several instances per node */
        gc->of_gpio_n_cells = 3;
	gc->of_node_instance_match = my_of_node_instance_match;
        gc->base = -1;
        ...

        ret = devm_gpiochip_add_data(dev, gc, mg);
        if (ret)
            return ret;
    }
}

Rename the "simple" of_xlate function to "twocell" which is closer
to what it actually does.

In the device tree bindings, the provide node needs
to specify #gpio-cells = <3>; where the first cell is the instance
number:

gpios = <&gpio instance offset flags>;

Conversely ranges need to have four cells:

gpio-ranges = <&pinctrl instance gpio_offset pin_offset count>;
