Andy Shevchenko 01e8d85b68 gpio: aggregator: Refactor ->{get, set}_multiple() to make Sparse happy
Sparse can't see locking scheme used in ->get_multiple() and
->set_multiple() callbacks.
  CHECK   .../drivers/gpio/gpio-aggregator.c
  .../spinlock.h:409:9: warning: context imbalance in 'gpio_fwd_get_multiple' - unexpected unlock
  .../spinlock.h:409:9: warning: context imbalance in 'gpio_fwd_set_multiple' - unexpected unlock

Refactor them to have better readability and make Sparse happy.

Code size impact is +52 bytes with arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc 7.5.0.

Geert Uytterhoeven ec75039d55 gpio: aggregator: Use bitmap_parselist() for parsing GPIO offsets
Replace the custom code to parse GPIO offsets and/or GPIO offset ranges
by a call to bitmap_parselist(), and an iteration over the returned bit
mask.

This should have no impact on the format of the configuration parameters
written to the "new_device" virtual file in sysfs.

Geert Uytterhoeven 2073ea3ab1 gpio: aggregator: Drop pre-initialization in get_arg()
In get_arg(), the variable start is pre-initialized, but overwritten
again in the first statement.  Rework the assignment to not rely on
pre-initialization, to make the code easier to read.

Geert Uytterhoeven 828546e242 gpio: Add GPIO Aggregator
GPIO controllers are exported to userspace using /dev/gpiochip*
character devices.  Access control to these devices is provided by
standard UNIX file system permissions, on an all-or-nothing basis:
either a GPIO controller is accessible for a user, or it is not.
Currently no mechanism exists to control access to individual GPIOs.

Hence add a GPIO driver to aggregate existing GPIOs, and expose them as
a new gpiochip.

This supports the following use cases:
  - Aggregating GPIOs using Sysfs
    This is useful for implementing access control, and assigning a set
    of GPIOs to a specific user or virtual machine.
  - Generic GPIO Driver
    This is useful for industrial control, where it can provide
    userspace access to a simple GPIO-operated device described in DT,
    cfr. e.g. spidev for SPI-operated devices.
