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.

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.

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.

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.
