Philipp Zabel ef70bbe1aa gpio: make gpiod_direction_output take a logical value
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.

Alexandre Courbot 2a3cf6a359 gpiolib: return -ENOENT if no GPIO mapping exists
Some devices drivers make use of optional GPIO parameters. For such
drivers, it is important to discriminate between the case where no
GPIO mapping has been defined for the function they are requesting, and
the case where a mapping exists but an error occured while resolving it
or when acquiring the GPIO.

This patch changes the family of gpiod_get() functions such that they
will return -ENOENT if and only if no GPIO mapping is defined for the
requested function. Other error codes are used when an actual error
occured during the GPIO resolution.

Alexandre Courbot ad824783fb gpio: better lookup method for platform GPIOs
Change the format of the platform GPIO lookup tables to make them less
confusing and improve lookup efficiency.

The previous format was a single linked-list that required to compare
the device name and function ID of every single GPIO defined for each
lookup. Switch that to a list of per-device tables, so that the lookup
can be done in two steps, omitting the GPIOs that are not relevant for a
particular device.

The matching rules are now defined as follows:
- The device name must match *exactly*, and can be NULL for GPIOs not
  assigned to a particular device,
- If the function ID in the lookup table is NULL, the con_id argument of
  gpiod_get() will not be used for lookup. However, if it is defined, it
  must match exactly.
- The index must always match.

Alexandre Courbot fd8e198cfc Documentation: gpiolib: document new interface
gpiolib now exports a new descriptor-based interface which deprecates
the older integer-based one. This patch documents this new interface and
also takes the opportunity to brush-up the GPIO documentation a little
bit.

The new descriptor-based interface follows the same consumer/driver
model as many other kernel subsystems (e.g. clock, regulator), so its
documentation has similarly been splitted into different files.

The content of the former documentation has been reused whenever it
made sense; however, some of its content did not apply to the new
interface anymore and have this been removed. Likewise, new sections
like the mapping of GPIOs to devices have been written from scratch.

The deprecated legacy-based documentation is still available, untouched,
under Documentation/gpio/gpio-legacy.txt.
