Please help me understand.  You are saying the return value should be
checked below?

The first one is the namespace of plat-mxc function, and the second
one is to reflect gpio driver name 'mxc gpio'.

This common initcall seems a good place to concentrate the gpio device
registration.  It's easy to look at the common/different things among
these SoCs.  The only problem you reminded me is the scanning of the
long cpu_is_mx list.  It can be optimized a little bit by sorting the
list from the latest (most used) SoC to the oldest (least used) one,
and breaking out the scanning immediately when hitting one.

I just gave it a test, and it's not working at all.  (too early
to register device in irq init?)
