gpio: TODO: add a task for removing MMIO-specific fields from gpio_chip
Currently for CONFIG_GPIO_GENERIC=y each struct gpio_chip object
contains the fields relevant only for gpio-mmio users. It's not an
insignificant number either as it's several pointers and integers.
It makes sense to remove these fields from struct gpio_chip into a
dedicated structure but this is not trivial due to how the bgpio_init()
function is implemented.
Add a task for tracking this rework.
