It won't do much on its own without some patches to make use of the new
GPIOs... but it will be used as the direct register write becomes a
call to gpio-reg's ->set_multiple() method.

Further patches will be switching various bits over to using gpiod
stuff for some sa11x0/pxa bits, and on some platforms completely
eliminating the legacy "board control register" manipulations and
hacks spread around the kernel tree.
