Alexandre Courbot bae48da237 gpiolib: add gpiod_get() and gpiod_put() functions
Add gpiod_get(), gpiod_get_index() and gpiod_put() functions that
provide safer management of GPIOs.

These functions put the GPIO framework in line with the conventions of
other frameworks in the kernel, and help ensure every GPIO is declared
properly and valid while it is used.

Alexandre Courbot 79a9becda8 gpiolib: export descriptor-based GPIO interface
This patch exports the gpiod_* family of API functions, a safer
alternative to the legacy GPIO interface. Differences between the gpiod
and legacy gpio APIs are:

- gpio works with integers, whereas gpiod operates on opaque handlers
  which cannot be forged or used before proper acquisition
- gpiod get/set functions are aware of the active low state of a GPIO
- gpio consumers should now include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> to access
  the new interface, whereas chips drivers will use
  <linux/gpio/driver.h>

The legacy gpio API is now built as inline functions on top of gpiod.
