[PATCH v3 1/4] gpiolib: Add "unknown" direction support

From: Peter Tyser
Date: Thu Feb 17 2011 - 18:04:15 EST


Previously, gpiolib would unconditionally flag all GPIO pins as inputs,
regardless of their true state. This resulted in all GPIO output pins
initially being incorrectly identified as "input" in the GPIO sysfs.

Since the direction of GPIOs is not known prior to having their
direction set, instead set the default direction to "unknown" to prevent
user confusion. A pin with an "unknown" direction can not be written or
read via sysfs; it must first be configured as an input or output before
it can be used.

While we're playing with the direction flag in/out defines, rename them to
a more descriptive FLAG_DIR_* format.

Change since V1:
- This patch is new and is based on feedback from Alan to support a new
"unknown" direction.
- Rename FLAG_IS_OUT to FLAG_DIR_OUT, and add FLAG_DIR_IN

Change since V2:
- None
