Subject: [PATCH] of: property: do not create device links from *nr-gpios

[<vendor>,]nr-gpios property is used by some GPIO drivers[0] to indicate
the number of GPIOs present on a system, not define a GPIO. nr-gpios is
not configured by #gpio-cells and can't be parsed along with other
"*-gpios" properties.

scripts/dtc/checks.c also has a special case for nr-gpio{s}. However,
nr-gpio is not really special, so we only need to fix nr-gpios suffix
here.

[0]: nr-gpios is referenced in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio:
 - gpio-adnp.txt
 - gpio-xgene-sb.txt
 - gpio-xlp.txt
 - snps,dw-apb-gpio.yaml

Fixes errors such as:
  OF: /palmbus@...000/gpio@600: could not find phandle
