gpio: Mention GPIO MUX in docs
There is now a GPIO multiplexer, so mention this in the document about drivers using GPIO as backend. Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com>

- gpio-mux: drivers/mux/gpio.c is used for controlling a multiplexer using

n GPIO lines such that you can mux in 2^n different devices by activating

different GPIO lines. Often the GPIOs are on a SoC and the devices are

some SoC-external entities, such as different components on a PCB that
|

can be selectively enabled.

|

Apart from this there are special GPIO drivers in subsystems like MMC/SD to
|

read card detect and write protect GPIO lines, and in the TTY serial subsystem
|

to emulate MCTRL (modem control) signals CTS/RTS by using two GPIO lines. The
