[PATCH 1/2][v3] gpiolib: allow simultaneous setting of multiple GPIO outputs

[Rojhalat Ibrahim <imr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Introduce a new function gpiod_set_raw_array to the consumer interface which
allows setting multiple outputs with just one function call. Also add an
optional set_multiple function to the driver interface. Without an
implementation of that function in the chip driver outputs are set
sequentially.

Implementing the set_multiple function in a chip driver allows for:
- Improved performance for certain use cases. The original motivation for this
  was the task of configuring an FPGA. In that specific case, where 9 GPIO
  lines have to be set many times, configuration time goes down from 48 s to
  19 s when using the new function.
- Simultaneous glitch-free setting of multiple pins on any kind of parallel
  bus attached to GPIOs provided they all reside on the same chip and bank.

Limitations:
  - Performance is only improved for normal high-low outputs. Open drain and
    open source outputs are always set separately from each other. Those kinds
    of outputs could probably be accelerated in a similar way if we could
    forgo the error checking when setting GPIO directions.
  - There is no gpiod_set_array function that regards the ACTIVE_LOW bits.
    The raw function should be sufficient for many use cases. So I avoided
    the code duplication the other functions would require.

Change log:
  v3: - add documentation
      - change commit message
  v2: - use descriptor interface
      - allow arbitrary groups of GPIOs spanning multiple chips

+Set multiple GPIO outputs with a single function call
+-----------------------------------------------------
+The following two functions set the raw output values of an array of GPIOs:
+
+	void gpiod_set_raw_array(unsigned int array_size,
+				 struct gpio_desc **desc_array,
+				 int *value_array)
+	void gpiod_set_raw_array_cansleep(unsigned int array_size,
+					  struct gpio_desc **desc_array,
+					  int *value_array)
+
+The array can be an arbitrary set of GPIOs. The functions will try to set
+GPIOs belonging to the same bank or chip simultaneously if supported by the
+corresponding chip driver. In that case a significantly improved performance
+can be expected. If simultaneous setting is not possible the GPIOs will be set
+sequentially.
+
 GPIOs mapped to IRQs
 --------------------
 GPIO lines can quite often be used as IRQs. You can get the IRQ number
