Subject: [PATCH] gpio: rockchip: mark the GPIO controller as sleeping

The GPIO controller is configured as non-sleeping but it uses generic
pinctrl helpers which use a mutex for synchronization.

This can cause the following lockdep splat with shared GPIOs enabled on
boards which have multiple devices using the same GPIO:
