There is already GPIO_V2_LINE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL
in <uapi/linux/gpio.h> so setting configs from userspace is no issue,
just use the character device.

You will need to add I think two new config flags for userspace:
GPIO_V2_LINE_FLAG_OUTPUT_ENABLE
GPIO_V2_LINE_FLAG_OUTPUT_DISABLE

And update gpio_v2_line_config_flags_to_desc_flags() in
drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c accordingly.

Then you probably want some tests or examples in libgpiod to make
sure userspace is fine. Bartosz knows all about how to do this.
