gpio: i2c expanders use subsys_init
Make the I2C external GPIO expander drivers register themselves at
subsys_initcall() time when they're statically linked.
SOC-integrated GPIOs are available starting very early -- early in
arch_initcall() at latest, but often even before initcalls start to run --
so this improves consistency, so more subsystems can rely on GPIOs in
their own subsys_initcall() code.
(This isn't a theoretical problem. This is one of several patches needed
to resolve oopsing observed when statically linking kernels on a DaVinci
EVM. Its pcf857x GPIOs needed to be available well before some other
drivers initialized.)
