Apart from the con_id thing I commented, I don't see huge problems
converting the ACPI GPIO helpers to this new interface.

One thing that is special to ACPI is that we have two kind of GPIO
"connections":

	GpioIo - a normal GPIO that the driver can toggle or read values

	GpioInt - this is specifically used as a GPIO interrupt

The drivers should be able to distinguish between the two. Currently we
have an extra parameter in acpi_get_gpio_by_index(..., &info) that can be
used for this. However, with the new gpiod_get() I'm not sure how we are
supposed to do this now?

Anyway, that shouldn't prevent merging this patch set. I'm sure that we can
come up with some working solution :-)
