gpiolib: export descriptor-based GPIO interface
This patch exports the gpiod_* family of API functions, a safer alternative to the legacy GPIO interface. Differences between the gpiod and legacy gpio APIs are: - gpio works with integers, whereas gpiod operates on opaque handlers which cannot be forged or used before proper acquisition - gpiod get/set functions are aware of the active low state of a GPIO - gpio consumers should now include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> to access the new interface, whereas chips drivers will use <linux/gpio/driver.h> The legacy gpio API is now built as inline functions on top of gpiod.
