Previously, drivers/pinctrl/nomadik/pinctrl-nomadik.c registered two platform drivers: pinctrl & GPIO. Move the GPIO aspect to the drivers/gpio/ folder, as would be expected. Both drivers are intertwined for a reason; pinctrl requires access to GPIO registers for pinmuxing, pull-disable, disabling interrupts while setting the muxing and wakeup control. Information sharing is done through a shared array containing GPIO chips and a few helper functions. That shared array is not touched from gpio-nomadik when CONFIG_PINCTRL_NOMADIK is not defined. Make no change to the code that moved into gpio-nomadik; there should be no behavior change following. A few functions are shared and header comments are added. Checkpatch warnings are addressed. NUM_BANKS is renamed to NMK_MAX_BANKS. It is supported to compile gpio-nomadik without pinctrl-nomadik. The opposite is not true.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
