gpiolib: separation of pin concerns



The fact that of_gpiochip_add_pin_range() and
gpiochip_add_pin_range() share too much code is fragile and
will invariably mean that bugs need to be fixed in two places
instead of one.

So separate the concerns of gpiolib.c and gpiolib-of.c and
have the latter call the former as back-end. This is necessary
also when going forward with other device descriptions such
as ACPI.

This is done by:

- Adding a return code to gpiochip_add_pin_range() so we can
  reliably check whether this succeeds.

- Get rid of the custom of_pinctrl_add_gpio_range() from
  pinctrl. Instead create of_pinctrl_get() to just retrive the
  pin controller per se from an OF node. This composite
  function was just begging to be deleted, it was way to
  purpose-specific.

- Use pinctrl_dev_get_name() to get the name of the retrieved
  pin controller and use that to call back into the generic
  gpiochip_add_pin_range().

Now the pin range is only allocated and tied to a pin
controller from the core implementation in gpiolib.c.
