A number of drivers in drivers/gpio return -ENODEV when confronted with
missing setup parameters such as the platform data. However, returning
-ENODEV causes the driver layer to silently ignore the driver as it
assumes the probe did not find anything and was only speculative.
To make life easier to discern why a driver is not being attached, change
to returning -EINVAL, which is a better description of the fact that the
driver data was not valid.
Also add a set of dev_dbg() statements to the error paths to provide an
better explanation of the error as there may be more that one point in the
driver.

Make the SPI external GPIO expander drivers register themselves at
subsys_initcall() time when they're statically linked, and make the SPI
core do its driver model initialization earlier so that's safe.
SOC-integrated GPIOs are available starting very early -- often before
initcalls start to run, or earily in arch_initcall() at latest -- so this
improves consistency, letting more subsystems rely on GPIOs being usable
by their own subsys_initcall() code.

Teach the mcp23s08 driver about a curious feature of these chips: up to
four of them can share the same chipselect, with the SPI signals wired in
parallel, by matching two bits in the first protocol byte against two
address lines on the chip.
This is handled by three software changes:
* Platform data now holds an array of per-chip structs, not
just one chip's address and pullup configuration.
* Probe() and remove() now use another level of structure,
wrapping an instance of the original structure for each
mcp23s08 chip sharing that chipselect.
* The HAEN bit is set, so that the hardware address bits can no
longer be ignored (boot firmware may not have enabled them).
The "one struct per chip" preserves the guts of the current code,
but platform_data will need minor changes.
OLD:
/* incorrect "slave" ID may not have mattered */
.slave = 3,
.pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0),
NEW:
/* slave address _must_ match chip's wiring */
.chip[3] = {
.is_present = true,
.pullups = BIT(3) | BIT(1) | BIT(0),
},
There's no change in how things _behave_ for spi_device nodes with a
single mcp23s08 chip. New multi-chip configurations assign GPIOs in
sequence, without holes. The spi_device just resembles a bigger
controller, but internally it has multiple gpio_chip instances.

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.

current (small) set of non-SOC GPIO drivers from being unloaded while any of
their GPIOs are in use.
