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.

7059d4b08e gpio: pca953x (i2c) handles max7310 too
The pca953x driver can handle another 8-bit I/O expander, the max7310.
This patch adds that chip to the list of supported IDs in that driver, and
expands the Kconfig helptext accordingly.

f39e578172 gpio: pca953x: add support for pca9555 I2C I/O expander
Add support for pca9555 I2C I/O expander.  As the comment suggests this part
is software compatible with the pca9539.

3760f73671 i2c: Convert most new-style drivers to use module aliasing
Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

Update most new-style i2c drivers to use standard module aliasing
instead of the old driver_name/type driver matching scheme. I've
left the video drivers apart (except for SoC camera drivers) as
they're a bit more diffcult to deal with, they'll have their own
patch later.

d2653e9273 i2c: Add support for device alias names
Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this
point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still
supported.

842078054d gpio/pca953x bugfix: mark as can_sleep
The pca953x driver is an I2C driver so gpio_chip->can_sleep should be set.
This lets upper layers know they should use the gpio_*_cansleep() calls to
access values, and may not access them from nonsleeping contexts.

f5e8ff4832 gpio: handle pca953{4,5,6,7,8} too
This third part of an extension to support more pca953x chips updates the
logic to handle the smaller register widths used by the 4-bit and 8-bit parts,
and to use the chip type to determine how many GPIOs it provides.

As long as we don't support interrupt and reset capabilities, those size
issues are the only software-visible differences between these parts.
