[PATCH] chardev: GPIO for SCx200 & PC-8736x: add platforn_device for use w dev_dbg

Add a platform-device to scx200_gpio, and use its struct device dev member
(ie: devp) in dev_dbg() once.

There are 2 alternatives here (Im soliciting guidance/commentary):

- use isa_device, if/when its added to the kernel.

- alter scx200.c to EXPORT_GPL its private devp so that both scx200_gpio,
  and the (to be added) nsc_gpio module can use it.  Since the available devp
  is in 'grandparent', this seems like too much 'action at a distance'.
