[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: Add a binding for the RPi firmware GPIO driver.

The RPi firmware exposes all of the board's GPIO lines through
property calls. Linux chooses to control most lines directly through
the pinctrl driver, but for the FXL6408 GPIO expander on the Pi3, we
need to access them through the firmware.

+Raspberry Pi power domain driver
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Should be "raspberrypi,firmware-gpio"
+- gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a gpio controller
+- #gpio-cells: Should be <2> for GPIO number and flags
+- ngpios: Number of GPIO lines to control. See gpio.txt
+- firmware: Reference to the RPi firmware device node
+- raspberrypi,firmware-gpio-offset:
+ Number the firmware uses for the first GPIO line
+ controlled by this driver
+
+Example:
+fxl6408: firmware-gpio-128 {
+ compatible = "raspberrypi,firmware-gpio";
+ gpio-controller;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;
+ firmware = <&firmware>;
+ ngpios = <8>;
+ raspberrypi,firmware-gpio-offset = <128>;
