[PATCH v5 1/3] 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. Other parameters and the SCU based SoCs, whose
firmware call returns the raw pad value as well, get -ENOTSUPP; a pin
the device tree never configured gets -EINVAL, as the raw helper already
does, so a caller can tell "no answer for this pin" from "this
controller never answers".

The only in-tree user of the raw register was the debugfs group dump,
which called the callback with an uninitialized config; it now reads
the register through its own helper, like the single pin dump already
did.

The set callback is not touched: the fsl,pins binding hands it the raw
pad register value and that stays the only thing it accepts. Nothing
in-tree sends generic parameters to it on these SoCs; making it
understand them is a separate change.

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