[PATCH v2 1/4] gpio: deprecate the GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE flag

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

The non-exclusive GPIO request flag looks like a functional feature but
is in fact a workaround for a corner-case that got out of hand. It should
be removed so deprecate it officially so that nobody uses it anymore.
