Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:

   - A new GPIO hogging mechanism has been added.  This can be used on
     boards that want to drive some GPIO line high, low, or set it as
     input on boot and then never touch it again.  For some embedded
     systems this is bliss and simplifies things to a great extent.

   - Some API cleanup and closure: gpiod_get_array() and
     gpiod_put_array() has been added to get and put GPIOs in bulk as
     was possible with the non-descriptor API.

   - Encapsulate cross-calls to the pin control subsystem in
     <linux/gpio/driver.h>.  Now this should be the only header any GPIO
     driver needs to include or something is wrong.  Cleanups
     restricting drivers to this include are welcomed if tested.

   - Sort the GPIO Kconfig and split it into submenus, as it was
