Hmm, I forgot to discuss this in Budapest, but I'm still not convinced about
the code ownership here, I think it should be Copyright Linaro Ltd when a
Linaro assignee writes it, not the member company that you work for.

If your manager thinks it should be copyright Freescale, I would suggest
we discuss it on the Linaro private mailing list so we can find a solution
that everyone is happy with. No need to bother the public with this.

You don't use iosize anywhere.

I know it's tempting to use macros for these, but I think it obscures
the code a lot, especially when you use them to concatenate identifier
names. Why not just do:

	struct platform_device *gpios;
	gpios = platform_device_register_simple(mxs_host_bus, "mxs-gpio-master", 0, NULL, 0);

	mxs_register_gpio(gpios, 0, MX23_PINCTRL_BASE_ADDR, MX23_INT_GPIO_0);
	mxs_register_gpio(gpios, 1, MX23_PINCTRL_BASE_ADDR, MX23_INT_GPIO_1);
	mxs_register_gpio(gpios, 2, MX23_PINCTRL_BASE_ADDR, MX23_INT_GPIO_2);
	mxs_register_gpio(gpios, 3, MX23_PINCTRL_BASE_ADDR, MX23_INT_GPIO_3);

This is actually shorter and it makes it possible to grep for the
macros you use.

mxs_add_platform_device doesn't set the parent pointer correctly, I think you
should either fix that or open-code the platform device creation to do it
right.
