    gpio: Increase ARCH_NR_GPIOs to 512 · 7ca267fa

    Some newer Intel SoCs, like Braswell already have more than 256 GPIOs
    available so the default limit is exceeded. Instead of adding more
    architecture specific gpio.h files with custom ARCH_NR_GPIOs we increase
    the gpiolib default limit to be twice the current.
    
    Current generic ARCH_NR_GPIOS limit is 256 which starts to be too small
    for newer Intel SoCs like Braswell. In order to support GPIO controllers
    on these SoCs we increase ARCH_NR_GPIOS to be 512 which should be
    sufficient for now.
    
    The kernel size increases a bit with this change. Below is an example of
    x86_64 kernel image.
    
    ARCH_NR_GPIOS=256
     text     data    bss     dec      hex    filename
     11476173 1971328 1265664 14713165 e0814d vmlinux
    
    ARCH_NR_GPIOS=512
     text     data    bss     dec      hex    filename
     11476173 1971328 1269760 14717261 e0914d vmlinux
    
    So the BSS size and this the kernel image size increases by 4k.
