[PATCH v2 0/2] gpio: add new SET_CONFIG ioctl() to gpio chardev

[Kent Gibson <warthog618@gmail.com>]

Changes from v1:
 Address v1 review comments, specifically refactoring line handle flag 
 validation out of linehandle_create in a separate patch, and refactoring  
 the set_config itself to improve readability and minimize changes to 
 existing code.

Add the GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL to the gpio chardev.
The ioctl allows some of the configuration of a requested handle to be
changed without having to release the line.
The primary use case is the changing of direction for bi-directional 
lines.

The patch series is against Bart's gpio/for-next branch[1] with v4 of 
my bias patch series "gpio: expose line bias flags to userspace" applied.
This is necessary to support setting of the bias flags introduced 
there.

The patch has been successfully tested against gpio-mockup using the 
feature/pud_set_config branch of my Go gpiod library[2], as libgpiod has 
not yet been updated with the uAPI change.
