SPI-attached GPIO controllers typically read out all inputs in one go.
If callers desire the values of multipe inputs, ideally a single readout
should take place to return the desired values. However the current
driver API only offers a ->get callback but no ->get_multiple (unlike
->set_multiple, which is present). Thus, to read multiple inputs, a
full readout needs to be performed for every single value (barring
driver-internal caching), which is inefficient.
In fact, the lack of a ->get_multiple callback has been bemoaned
repeatedly by the gpio subsystem maintainer:

Introduce the missing callback. Add corresponding consumer functions
such as gpiod_get_array_value(). Amend linehandle_ioctl() to take
advantage of the newly added infrastructure. Update the documentation.

Given the intent behind gpiod_get_optional() and friends it does not make
sense to return -ENOSYS when GPIOLIB is disabled: the driver is expected to
work just fine without gpio so let's behave as if gpio was not found.
Otherwise we have to special-case -ENOSYS in drivers.
Note that there was objection that someone might forget to enable GPIOLIB
when dealing with a platform that has device that actually specifies
optional gpio and we'll break it. I find this unconvincing as that would
have to be the *only GPIO* in the system, which is extremely unlikely.

Introduce new functions gpiod_set_array & gpiod_set_raw_array to the consumer
interface which allow setting multiple outputs with just one function call.
Also add an optional set_multiple function to the driver interface. Without an
implementation of that function in the chip driver outputs are set
sequentially.
Implementing the set_multiple function in a chip driver allows for:
- Improved performance for certain use cases. The original motivation for this
was the task of configuring an FPGA. In that specific case, where 9 GPIO
lines have to be set many times, configuration time goes down from 48 s to
20 s when using the new function.
- Simultaneous glitch-free setting of multiple pins on any kind of parallel
bus attached to GPIOs provided they all reside on the same chip and bank.
Limitations:
Performance is only improved for normal high-low outputs. Open drain and
open source outputs are always set separately from each other. Those kinds
of outputs could probably be accelerated in a similar way if we could
forgo the error checking when setting GPIO directions.
Change log:
v6: - rebase on current linux-gpio devel branch
v5: - check can_sleep property per chip
- remove superfluous checks
- supplement documentation
v4: - add gpiod_set_array function for setting logical values
- change interface of the set_multiple driver function to use
unsigned long as type for the bit fields
- use generic bitops (which also use unsigned long for bit fields)
- do not use ARCH_NR_GPIOS any more
v3: - add documentation
- change commit message
v2: - use descriptor interface
- allow arbitrary groups of GPIOs spanning multiple chips

Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
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.

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.
