[PATCH/RFC v2 1/5] gpio: Export gpiod_{request,free}() to modular GPIO code

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Wed Sep 11 2019 - 10:39:15 EST


Export the gpiod_request() and gpiod_free() symbols, so modular GPIO
library code can make use of these functions.

ERROR: "gpiod_request" [drivers/gpio/gpiolib-fwd.ko] undefined!

Alternatives:
- Force gpiolib-fwd builtin,
- Call gpio_{,request,free}(desc_to_gpio(...)) instead, as the legacy
functions are exported,
- Call gpiod_put() instead of gpiod_free(), as the former is a simple
exported wrapper around the latter. Unfortunately there's no such
alternative for gpiod_request().
