 I2C-GPIO MFD Driver

Hi Mike and Lee Jones,

I've updated the patch (v3) with the input from previous reviews, hope this will help to facilitate a better review. I've kept the clk portion relatively unchanged except removing the usage of global variables, instead I've put them in a struct and set as drvdata for later use during the removal of the driver for unregistering the clk and clk_lookup.

Warm Regards,
