[PATCH v2] gpiolib: cdev: add fdinfo output for line request file descriptors

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Thu Sep 22 2022 - 05:51:40 EST


Add fdinfo output for file descriptors created for user-space line
requests in GPIO uAPI v2. The fdinfo file now contains the name of the
GPIO chip that is the "parent" of the request as well as offsets of
the lines requested. This allows user-space to parse the /proc/$PID/fdinfo
entries and deduce the PID of the process that requested a specific line.

v1 -> v2:
- change `gpio-device` to `gpio-chip` in the fdinfo output
- change deduct into deduce as suggested by Kent in the commit message
