in fact, It is my gpio driver need to be compatible with
gpio-loongson.c, because I need use this name gpio-loongson.c and doesn't
drop this driver.

The legacy driver also uses a set of common definitions, but does not
use the structure to encapsulate it. then use platform_device_register
to register device, and my driver is to suppot dts/acpi gpio and need
separate platform device register logic, so gpio device need a platform
data to register device. It's confusing that as for some legacy platform
device drvier to set loongson platform device properties that required
by gpio driver, but if supply a platform data for device drvier it will
clear.

in addition, I have a look about include/linux/platform_data/
I think it is appropriate for me to add gpio platform data here

Thanks
