[v6 2/2] gpio: aspeed: Add SGPIO driver

[Hongwei Zhang <hongweiz@ami.com>]

Hello Linus,

Thanks for your detailed comments.

We just submitted a v6 of sgpio-aspeed.c, it includes the updates based on
your initial feedback:

1. fix a bug in aspeed_sgpio_dir_out()
2. some comments clean up.

Regards,
--Hongwei
