[PATCH 1/2] pinctrl: imx: answer OUTPUT_ENABLE/INPUT_ENABLE queries from the pad register

From: Mehmet Fide <mehmet.fide at screeningeagle.com>

The mmio pinconf get callback ignores which parameter was requested and
returns the raw conf register, so a generic query through
pinctrl_gpio_get_config() gets register bits back instead of the packed
parameter it asked for.

Decode the requested parameter and answer PIN_CONFIG_OUTPUT_ENABLE and
PIN_CONFIG_INPUT_ENABLE on SoCs that declare where those bits live in
the pad register; Vybrid has OBE at bit 1 and IBE at bit 0. The answer
is 0 with the bit value as the argument, which is what the
pinctrl_gpio_get_config() users (gpio-by-pinctrl, and gpio-mmio in the
next patch) expect. Pins the device tree never configured have no
register offset and get -ENOTSUPP, without the error message meant for
configuration attempts. Other parameters keep the historic raw-register
behaviour, which the debugfs dump still relies on.

This gives gpio-mmio a way to read back the line direction on chips
whose direction lives in the pin controller.
