Add support for VeriSilicon GPIO controller.
You enable not add support, but still the main question is: Why? Which
devices needs it? Why this cannot be a module?
Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for your fast review and apologies for the typo. I forgot to
mention on the commit message but I have mentioned in the cover letter
that the driver is needed for the Blaize BLZP1600 CB2 board which is
already supported on v6.14. I will fix the commit message on V2.

This driver enables support (controls) for multiple peripherals on
the board, like Ethernet for NFS boot, SD and eMMC to load modules from
these media. Without this driver build in the kernel, it will be hard to
mount a filesystem and load modules.

That's alright but typically you'd want to have something like:

default y if ARCH_BLAIZE

in the driver's Kconfig entry.

Hi Bart,

Thank you for your suggestion. I will fix it on V2.

Kind regards,
Nikolaos
