David Brownell d8f388d8dc gpio: sysfs interface
This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs.

    /sys/class/gpio
    	/export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
    	/unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
        /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
	    /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
	    /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
	/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
	    /base ... (r/o) same as N
	    /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
	    /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)

GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.

Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
requirements that don't merit full kernel support:

  echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
	... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
	use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
	when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
  echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
	... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above

The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
resources associated with each exported GPIO.  The additional I-space
footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!).  Since
no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.

Related changes:

  * This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip".  When GPIO
    providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
    that device instead of being "virtual" devices.

  * The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
    been updated.

  * Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
    field ...  for which missing kerneldoc was added.

  * Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs.  Those GPIOs are now
    flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.

Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.

A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
merges to mainline.

* @direction_input: configures signal "offset" as input, or returns error
* @get: returns value for signal "offset"; for output signals this

* @direction_output: configures signal "offset" as output, or returns error
* @set: assigns output value for signal "offset"
* @dbg_show: optional routine to show contents in debugfs; default code
* will be used when this is omitted, but custom code can show extra
* state (such as pullup/pulldown configuration).
* @base: identifies the first GPIO number handled by this chip; or, if
* negative during registration, requests dynamic ID allocation.
* @ngpio: the number of GPIOs handled by this controller; the last GPIO
* handled is (base + ngpio - 1).
* @can_sleep: flag must be set iff get()/set() methods sleep, as they
* must while accessing GPIO expander chips over I2C or SPI
*
* A gpio_chip can help platforms abstract various sources of GPIOs so
* they can all be accessed through a common programing interface.
* Example sources would be SOC controllers, FPGAs, multifunction
* chips, dedicated GPIO expanders, and so on.
*
* Each chip controls a number of signals, identified in method calls
* by "offset" values in the range 0..(@ngpio - 1). When those signals
* are referenced through calls like gpio_get_value(gpio), the offset
* is calculated by subtracting @base from the gpio number.
