A gpio-locked fixed clock aggregates one or more input clocks and/or one
or more GPIOs. It's similar to a gated-fixed-clock, but GPIO direction is
inverted. Consumers can use the output clock to wait until all input
clocks are locked and only then initialize / access dependent peripherals.

The usage example for such a driver is when peripherals depend on PLLs in
a FPGA, which can't be directly accessed by the CPU, but need a GPIO pin
to check whether clock is actually usable. E.g. some of the IPs might not
have a proper split between registers and IP core, which means that if an
external clock and/or PLL lock is missing and one tries to access the 
registers, the response never comes, thus the CPU stalls.

- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- Removed unnecessary dt bindings
- Improved HW description and commit messages
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- Renamed to clk-gpio-locked to express intent.
- Provide enable() / is_enabled() operations so the clock behaves as
  expected
