[PATCH v2 0/6] gpio: notify user-space about config changes in the kernel

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

We currently only emit events on changed line config to user-space on
changes made from user-space. Users have no way of getting notified
about in-kernel changes. This series improves the situation and also
contains a couple other related improvements.

This is a reworked approach which gets and stores as much info (all of
it actually, except for the pinctrl state) the moment the event occurrs
but moves the actual queueing of the event on the kfifo to a dedicated
high-priority, ordered workqueue.

Changes in v2:
- put all line-info events emitting on a workqueue to allow queueing
  them from atomic context
- switch the notifier type used for emitting info events to atomic
- add a patch notifying user-space about drivers requesting their own
  descs
- drop patches that were picked up
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241004-gpio-notify-in-kernel-events-v1-0-8ac29e1df4fe@xxxxxxxxxx
