Looks good. Just few comments below.

I persume that the driver wasn't build-tested on SPARC, so I'd recommend
to change the depends to PPC_OF. Plus, the driver should also select
GENERIC_GPIO and ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB. (Later we'll switch to
ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB for whole PPC.)

If nothing has changed, we should place the arch-specific GPIO
drivers into the arch/. So, Kconfig entry should go into the
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.

and the driver itself into arch/powerpc/sysdev/.

At this point the GPIO controller is registered, so somebody
might already request and work with the GPIOs...

But initial values were set up just now, after the registration.

There is the `save_regs' callback in the of_mm_gpio_chip structure,
it is used exactly to avoid this situation.

There is no much point in doing the of_platform_driver for the
SOC GPIOs. More than that, of_platform bus is probed at the
device_initcall time, so there is also no point in the subsys_initcall
for this driver.

I'd recommend to do the registration as in
arch/powerpc/sysdev/qe_lib/gpio.c.
