[PATCH v3 0/2] Support sparse unidirectional GPIO lines.

[Linus Walleij]

This adds a fixed_direction_mask bitmap to the regmap GPIO
config and state holder. This works the following way:

- If the bitmap is NULL all GPIOs are assumed to be fixed
  direction and that is specified in fixed_direction_output.
  This makes sure old drivers keep working as before.

- If the fixed_direction_mask bitmap is present (!= NULL)
  the lines set to 1 in the bitmask are fixed direction,
  all other lines can change their direction dynamically.

To be used in a forthcoming submission.

As a consequence, be more elaborate when handling direction
setting (patch 2).

Changes in v3:
- Rename fixed_direction_sparse to fixed_direction_mask which is more
  to the point.
- Make gpio_regmap_set_direction() fail if the requested direction is
  not the same as the fixed direction.
- Augment gpio_regmap_direction_output() such that it will first check
  if the line is a fixed direction line and only continue if it is
  fixed as output in this case.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260508-regmap-gpio-sparse-fixed-dir-v2-0-deee84df3027@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Make a second patch to exclude setting on unidirectional
  lines.
