Re: [patch/rfc 1/4] GPIO implementation framework

From: eric miao

OK, here's the all-in-one patch based on David's most recent gpiolib fix,

Changes include:

1. use per gpio structure "gpio_desc", thus eliminating the restriction of
ARCH_GPIOS_PER_CHIP, thus making it possible leaving no holes in GPIOs
numbering

Note: the number of GPIOs on different GPIO expander chips may vary
much, from 1-2 GPIOs on some audio codecs to dedicated 16-pin GPIO
expander chips. The ARCH_GPIOS_PER_CHIP might not be fair enough.

this change introduces the following small changes:

a) removal of "gpio_chips[]" and use "gpio_desc[]" instead
b) move of "is_out" and "requested" from "struct gpio_chip" to "struct
gpio_desc" and make them bit fields
c) removal of "gpiochip_is_requested()", and use "gpio_desc->requested"
instead

Note: I do want a reference count field within gpio_chip to record the
number of requested GPIOs within the chip, leave this to next patch

d) make gpio_ensure_requested() use gpio_desc, and simplify the code a
bit

2. reduce ARCH_NR_GPIOS to 256, which is moderate for most sane platforms,
and thus saving some memory of the per gpio structures

3. dedicated "gpio_desc.requested_label" field for use with debugfs

4. use a loop for "gpio_desc[]" instead of a loop for "gpio_chips[]" in
gpiolib_show(), change is straight forward; since it is now per gpio
based, the gpio_chip.dbg_show() is removed as well
