[PATCH v2 2/4] gpiolib: Add ability to get GPIO pin direction

[Peter Tyser]

Add a new get_direction() function to the gpio_chip structure.  This is
useful so that the direction of a pin can be determined when its
initially exported.  Previously, the direction defaulted to "unknown"
regardless of the actual configuration of the GPIO pin.

If a GPIO driver implements get_direction(), it is called in
gpio_request() to set the initial direction of the pin accurately.
