The new challenge is to remove VLAs from the kernel

turn on -Wvla.

Using a kmalloc array is the easy way to fix this but kmalloc is still
more expensive than stack allocation. Introduce a fast path with a
fixed size stack array to cover most chip with gpios below some fixed
amount. The slow path dynamically allocates an array to cover those
chips with a large number of gpios.

v6: Introduce a config option for setting the fast path GPIOs because
there are too many combinations to make the arch default workable. I
went with a default of 512 in the Kconfig.

Also to other points: I don't think the warning should be triggerable
from userspace, it should only happen on probe. I also think only
memsetting half the array is more likely to be error prone. We can
change it if there is significant overhead.

G'day Laura,

Looks good to me.
