The sifive gpio IP block supports up to 32 GPIOs. Reflect that in the
interrupts property description and maxItems. Also add the standard
ngpios property to describe the number of GPIOs available on the
implementation.

Also add the "canaan,k210-gpiohs" compatible string to indicate the use
of this gpio controller in the Canaan Kendryte K210 SoC. If this
compatible string is used, do not define the clocks property as
required as the K210 SoC does not have a software controllable clock
for the Sifive gpio IP block.

What's the default as obviously drivers already assume something.

The driver currently assumes 16. However, as noted in reply to Atish,
the number of GPIOs is configurable.

Does a driver actually need to know this? For example, does the
register stride change or something?

No. I believe that the number of GPIOs sets which bits in the control
registers are valid. So the maximum number of GPIOs is the word width of
the bus.

Please don't add it if the only purpose is error check your DT (IOW,
if it just checks the max cell value in gpios phandles).

Why not? This seems like exactly the situation this property was
designed for.

Optionally, a GPIO controller may have a "ngpios" property. This property
indicates the number of in-use slots of available slots for GPIOs. The
typical example is something like this: the hardware register is 32 bits
wide, but only 18 of the bits have a physical counterpart. The driver is
generally written so that all 32 bits can be used, but the IP block is reused
in a lot of designs, some using all 32 bits, some using 18 and some using
12. In this case, setting "ngpios = <18>;" informs the driver that only the
first 18 GPIOs, at local offset 0 .. 17, are in use.
