[PATCH 0/4] gpio: API boundary cleanups

Hi Linus, Bartosz,

This patch series contains various API boundary cleanups for gpiolib:
- The first two patches make two functions private,
- The last two patches switch the remaining gpiolib exported functions
from EXPORT_SYMBOL() to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

After this there is only a single GPIO driver function exported with
EXPORT_SYMBOL();

drivers/gpio/gpio-htc-egpio.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(htc_egpio_get_wakeup_irq);

I believe this symbol was never used upstream, and may be a relic of the
original out-of-tree code the htc-egpio was based on. I don't know if
there (still) exist out-of-tree users of the symbol.

Thanks for your comments!
