[PATCH] ARM: sa1100: Initialize gpio after gpio subsystem has been initialized

The sa1100 gpio driver was initialized from interrupt initialization code,
which is earlier than the gpio subsystem is initialized. Since commit
ff2b13592299 ("gpio: make the gpiochip a real device"), this is fatal
and causes the system to crash.

The sa1100 gpio driver must be initialized prior to arch_initcall, since
its gpio pins are used in arch_initcall code, but after the gpio subsystem
is initialized (core_initcall). Initialize it with postcore_initcall.

Fixes: ff2b13592299 ("gpio: make the gpiochip a real device")

Tested by building collie_defconfig and:

qemu-system-arm -M collie -kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage \
	-no-reboot -initrd busybox-armv4.cpio \
	--append "rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttySA1" -monitor null -nographic
