[PATCH 3/3] of/gpio: Introduce of_put_gpio(), add ref counting for OF GPIO chips

OF GPIO infrastructure is using dynamic GPIO bases, so it is possible
that of_get_gpio()'s returned GPIO number will be no longer valid, or
worse, it may point to an unexpected GPIO controller.

This scenario is possible:

driver A:               driver B:              driver C:
---------               ---------              ---------
                        gpiochip_add()
gpio = of_get_gpio()
                        gpiochip_remove()
                                               gpiochip_add()
gpio_request(gpio);
gpio_set_value(gpio);

That is, driver A assumes that it is working with GPIO from driver B,
but in practice it may disappear and driver C will take its GPIO base
number, so it will provide the same GPIO numbers.

With this patch that situation is no longer possible. Though drivers
will need to learn to put GPIOs back, so that GPIO controllers could
be removed.
