Ack, I'm used to drivers/net. I have to remove the ngpio in a future
version, so the comment is removed as well.

This is because of existing arch code in /arch/arm/mach-clps711x/board-p720t.c.
You remember there's a driver with a device-tree binding "cirrus,clps711x-gpio"
for it. But the current kernel arch code still registers a platform_device and
it doesn't look like it has any device tree support. So this is necessary for
those partially converted archs to co-exist with the driver. I'll update the
-ENODEV to -EINVAL.
