[PATCH v2 0/4] XRA1403,gpio - add XRA1403 gpio expander driver

[Nandor Han <nandor.han@ge.com>]

The patchset will add a driver to support basic functionality for
XRA1403 device. Features supported:
        - get/set GPIO direction (input, output)
        - get/set GPIO level (low, high)

Documentation: A gpio-xra1403.txt file was added to document the DTS
	bindings related to driver.

Testing:

1.1 XRA1403 connected to iMX53 MCU
1.2 Use the GPIO tools provided by kernel from tools/gpio dir

3.1 `gpio-hammer`

root@csmon ppd:~# gpio-hammer -n gpiochip8 -o0 -o1 -o2 -o3
Hammer lines [0, 1, 2, 3] on gpiochip8, initial states: [0, 0, 0, 0]
[\] [0: 0, 1: 0, 2: 0, 3: 0]
...
[\] [0: 1, 1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1]

When using `gpio-hammer` I also attached an oscilloscope to one of the pins and I was
able to monitor and validate the GPIO status.
