AB8500 GPIO shape-up

Registered by Linus Walleij

The AB8500 GPIO driver has been marked BROKEN for a long time, and is the remaining driver without an irqdomain, hence it stands in the way of ux500 multiplatform. This is an item to shape it up, convert it over to be a pinctrl driver, and finalize it as a first-class pinctrl+gpio driver.
