Subject: [PATCH 1/7] gpio: move ppc4xx gpio driver from arch/powerpc to drivers/gpio

From: Rosen Penev <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 22:01:25 -0700

Move the ppc4xx gpio driver out of arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ into
drivers/gpio/gpio-ppc44x.c. The driver has no architecture-specific
dependencies and follows the same pattern as other PowerPC GPIO
drivers already in drivers/gpio/ (e.g. gpio-mpc8xxx, gpio-mpc5200).

- Renamed Kconfig symbol from PPC4xx_GPIO to GPIO_PPC44X
- Updated ppc44x_defconfig and warp_defconfig to use the new symbol
- Marked the new option as tristate (was bool) since the driver
  supports module build via module_platform_driver()
