Thanks for reviewing it Grant.  A few inliners.

I did think of doing this originally but I felt it could get a bit too 
unwieldy to describe all of the combinations (both in the compatible 
string and parsing code).  I guess in the driver we could have a list of 
templates that have a mask of the required registers for a given 
compatible string.

and for controllers such as the Synopsys one, each bank may have a 
different number of GPIO pins!

Personally I prefer it on a per-bank basis and that's how some of the 
powerpc bindings do it so there's a precedent for doing it this way.  
For controllers like the Synopsys one where banks can be different sizes 
it makes it more explicit.  Otherwise one could make a sane (but 
invalid) assumption that all banks are the width of the registers up to 
the number of GPIO's.

OK, I'll fix this up.
