[PATCH v1 5/8] Documentation: gpio: Remove text about ARCH_NR_GPIOS

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Mon Aug 29 2022 - 12:17:26 EST


ARCH_NR_GPIOS have been removed, clean up the documentation.

After this patch, the only place when ARCH_NR_GPIOS remains is in
translations/zh_CN/gpio.txt and translations/zh_TW/gpio.txt.
I don't have the skills to update that, anyway those two files are
already out of sync as they are still mentionning ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB
which was removed by commit 65053e1a7743 ("gpio: delete
ARCH_[WANTS_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB")

To force-enable this framework, a platform's Kconfig will "select" GPIOLIB,
else it is up to the user to configure support for GPIO.

-It may also provide a custom value for ARCH_NR_GPIOS, so that it better
-reflects the number of GPIOs in actual use on that platform, without
-wasting static table space. (It should count both built-in/SoC GPIOs and
-also ones on GPIO expanders.
-
If neither of these options are selected, the platform does not support
GPIOs through GPIO-lib and the code cannot be enabled by the user.
