[PATCH] gpio: ixp4xx: switch to dynamic GPIO base

[Mohamed Ayman]

Most IXP4xx platforms are Device Tree-based, and GPIO consumers
use phandle-based descriptors rather than legacy integer GPIO numbers.

Audit of the IXP4xx platform shows:
- No gpio_request(), gpio_get_value(), or gpio_set_value() users
  in arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/
- No platform data using fixed GPIO numbers

This switches the gpiochip to dynamic base allocation, aligning
with modern gpiolib expectations where GPIO numbers are not globally
fixed and may be assigned dynamically.

Set gpiochip.base = -1 to allow gpiolib to assign the GPIO base
dynamically, avoiding global GPIO number space conflicts.
