The huge majority of GPIOs have their direction and initial value set
right after being obtained by one of the gpiod_get() functions. The
integer GPIO API had gpio_request_one() that took a convenience flags
parameter allowing to specify an direction and value applied to the
returned GPIO. This feature greatly simplifies client code and ensures
errors are always handled properly.
A similar feature has been requested for the gpiod API. Since setting
the direction of a GPIO is so often the very next action done after
obtaining its descriptor, we prefer to extend the existing functions
instead of introducing new functions that would raise the
number of gpiod getters to 16 (!).
The drawback of this approach is that all gpiod clients need to be
updated. To limit the pain, temporary macros are introduced that allow
gpiod_get*() to be called with or without the extra flags argument. They
will be removed once all consumer code has been updated.

Today's linux-next kernel started showing build errors for the
use of WARN_ON in linux/gpio/consumer.h:
In file included from drivers/video/backlight/pwm_bl.c:13:0:
include/linux/gpio/consumer.h: In function 'gpiod_put':
include/linux/gpio/consumer.h:81:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'WARN_ON' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
It's not clear why this never happened before, but this patch
fixes it by including the header that contains the defintion
of this macro.

Introduce gpiod_get_optional() and gpiod_get_index_optional() helpers
that make it easier for drivers to handle optional GPIOs.
Currently in order to handle optional GPIOs, a driver needs to special
case error handling for -ENOENT, such as this:
gpio = gpiod_get(dev, "foo");
if (IS_ERR(gpio)) {
if (PTR_ERR(gpio) != -ENOENT)
return PTR_ERR(gpio);
gpio = NULL;
}
if (gpio) {
/* set up GPIO */
}
With these new helpers the above is reduced to:
gpio = gpiod_get_optional(dev, "foo");
if (IS_ERR(gpio))
return PTR_ERR(gpio);
if (gpio) {
/* set up GPIO */
}
While at it, device-managed variants of these functions are also
provided.

Some drivers dealing with a gpio_chip might need to act on its
descriptors directly; one example is pinctrl drivers that need to lock a
GPIO for being used as IRQ using gpiod_lock_as_irq().
This patch exports a gpiochip_get_desc() function that returns the
GPIO descriptor at the requested index. It also sweeps the
gpio_to_chip() function out of the consumer interface since any holder
of a gpio_chip reference can manipulate its GPIOs way beyond what a
consumer should be allowed to do.
As a result, gpio_chip is not visible anymore to simple GPIO consumers.

The documentation was not clear about whether
gpio_direction_output should take a logical value or the physical
level on the output line, i.e. whether the ACTIVE_LOW status
would be taken into account.
This converts gpiod_direction_output to use the logical level
and adds a new gpiod_direction_output_raw for the raw value.

Add gpiod_get(), gpiod_get_index() and gpiod_put() functions that
provide safer management of GPIOs.
These functions put the GPIO framework in line with the conventions of
other frameworks in the kernel, and help ensure every GPIO is declared
properly and valid while it is used.

This patch exports the gpiod_* family of API functions, a safer
alternative to the legacy GPIO interface. Differences between the gpiod
and legacy gpio APIs are:
- gpio works with integers, whereas gpiod operates on opaque handlers
which cannot be forged or used before proper acquisition
- gpiod get/set functions are aware of the active low state of a GPIO
- gpio consumers should now include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> to access
the new interface, whereas chips drivers will use
<linux/gpio/driver.h>
The legacy gpio API is now built as inline functions on top of gpiod.
