*	ARM: davinci: gpio: use gpiolib API instead of inline functions	Philip Avinash	2013-09-24
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Remove NEED_MACH_GPIO_H config select option for ARCH_DAVINCI to start using gpiolib interface for davinci platforms. This makes it easier to use the gpio driver on other platforms as it breaks dependency on mach-davinci. Latencies for gpio_get/set APIs will increase. On measurement, latency was found to have increased by 18 microsecond with gpiolib API as compared to inline APIs. Measurement was done on DA850 EVM for gpio_get_value() API by taking the printk timing across the call with interrupts disabled. inline gpio API with interrupt disabled [ 29.734337] before gpio_get [ 29.736847] after gpio_get Time difference 0.00251 gpio library with interrupt disabled [ 272.876763] before gpio_get [ 272.879291] after gpio_get Time difference 0.002528 Latency increased by (0.002528 - 0.00251) = 18 microsecond. While at it, remove GPIO_TYPE_DAVINCI enum definition as gpio-davinci.c is converted to Linux device driver model.

*	gpio: davinci: move to platform device	KV Sujith	2013-09-24
	Modify DaVinci GPIO driver to become a platform device driver. The driver does not have platform driver structure or a probe. Instead, it has pure_initcall function for initialization. The platform specific informaiton is obtained using the DaVinci specific davinci_soc_info structure. This is a problem for Device Tree (DT) implementation. As a first stage of DT conversion, we implement a probe. Additional notes: - The driver registration happens as postcore_initcall. This is required since machine init functions like da850_lcd_hw_init() make use of GPIO. - Start using devres APIs for simpler error handling.
