[PATCH v3 0/4] ARM: pxa: attach software nodes to the GPIO controllers

Convert GPIO controllers and their consumers on the PXA platform to using
"attached" software nodes. Since everything happens in a bord-file, it's
quite straightforward. We technically now have a way of passing an
unregistered software node to platform_device_register_full() but that
requires using struct platform_device_info and since the existing
platform devices are either referenced from other places or defined in a
different compilation unit, I wanted to reduce the impact of the changes
I can't test and went with the older method.

Changes in v3:
- Simplify patches 3/4 and 4/4 by leaving the devices in the existing
  list and limiting the changes to the fwnode assignment
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260427-pxa-gpio-swnodes-v2-0-86fc24b9e714@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on top of v7.1-rc1
- Add a patch making some platform device definitions static
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260331-pxa-gpio-swnodes-v1-0-f66d86d10d8d@oss.qualcomm.com
