SubjectRe: [RFC: -mm patch] drivers/char/scx200_gpio.c: make code static

I don't agree with unexporting scx200_gpio_ops and making the struct static,
this lets other modules use the scx200_gpio module in a semi-independent way. My
net48xx LED Class code is going to be modified to use the entries in this struct
to do its GPIO-twiddling magic, potentially allowing my module to do more than
just the net48xx Error LED.
