[PATCH v3 0/3] Add synchronous fake device creation utility for GPIO drivers

[Koichiro Den]

This patch series introduces a utility for some GPIO devices to reduce
code duplication. There are no functional changes.

In this series, only gpio-sim and gpio-virtuser are updated to use
dev-sync-probe, as the current gpio-aggregator does not benefit from it at
all. A follow-up patch series that introduces a configfs interface for
gpio-aggregator will convert it to use dev-sync-probe as well.

This work originated from a suggestion by Bartosz:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAMRc=MfcooZXBqVpbQ0ak+8LGsPDzwKSN3Zfb0eZDx1Bx4duzQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

N.B. this submission is based on the same (gpio/for-next) commit as v2:
f04867a5d0d3 ("gpio: loongson-64bit: Remove unneeded ngpio assignment").


v2->v3 changes:
  - Fixed Kconfig (hide it from users with removing 'depends on', move it
    outside of 'if GPIOLIB ...').
  - Dropped an unnecessary comment, an unnecessary line break.
  - Fixed Copyright (Year 2025 -> 2021 for Bartosz, add mine) + add my
    MODULE_AUTHOR.
  - Renamed dev_sync_probe_data fields ('data' -> 'probe_data') for both
    gpio-virtuser and gpio-sim.

v1->v2 changes:
  - Renamed the files (gpio-pseudo.[ch] -> dev-sync-probe.[ch]).
  - Renamed the helper functions and a struct.
  - Fixed Kconfig (correcting bool to tristate, etc.).
  - Fixed Copyright.
  - Added some missing #include.
