Some newer Intel SoCs, like Braswell already have more than 256 GPIOs
available so the default limit is exceeded. Instead of adding more
architecture specific gpio.h files with custom ARCH_NR_GPIOs we increase
the gpiolib default limit to be twice the current.
Current generic ARCH_NR_GPIOS limit is 256 which starts to be too small
for newer Intel SoCs like Braswell. In order to support GPIO controllers
on these SoCs we increase ARCH_NR_GPIOS to be 512 which should be
sufficient for now.
The kernel size increases a bit with this change. Below is an example of
x86_64 kernel image.
ARCH_NR_GPIOS=256
text data bss dec hex filename
11476173 1971328 1265664 14713165 e0814d vmlinux
ARCH_NR_GPIOS=512
text data bss dec hex filename
11476173 1971328 1269760 14717261 e0914d vmlinux
So the BSS size and this the kernel image size increases by 4k.
