At present U-Boot sort-of supports the standard way of reading GPIOs from
device tree nodes, but the support is incomplete, a bit clunky and only
works for GPIO bindings where #gpio-cells is 2.
Add new functions to request GPIOs, taking full account of the device
tree binding. These permit requesting a GPIO with a simple call like:
gpio_request_by_name(dev, "cd-gpios", 0, &desc, GPIOD_IS_IN);
This will request the GPIO, looking at the device's node which might be
this, for example:
cd-gpios = <&gpio TEGRA_GPIO(B, 3) GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
The GPIO will be set to input mode in this case and polarity will be
honoured by the GPIO calls.
It is also possible to request and free a list of GPIOs.
