This patch makes needlessly global 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.
