[RFC, PATCH 1/3] gpiodev - API definitions

[Paul Sokolovsky <pmiscml@gmail.com>]

Hello linux-arm-kernel,

GPIODEV API: Core API definitions. Provided are:
1. struct gpiodev_ops which must be included into platform_data structure
of a device which will provide GPIODEV API; driver for a device must
initialize this structure.
2. Structural definition of generalized GPIO identifier (struct gpio).
2. Set of API calls for clients. This fully follow Generic GPIO API
naming and semantics, except that they have "gpiodev" prefix and
accept struct gpio instead of integer gpio identifiers.
