[PATCH 1/3][v6] gpiolib: allow simultaneous setting of multiple GPIO outputs

[Rojhalat Ibrahim <imr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Introduce new functions gpiod_set_array & gpiod_set_raw_array to the consumer
interface which allow 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
  20 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.

Change log:
  v6: - rebase on current linux-gpio devel branch
  v5: - check can_sleep property per chip
      - remove superfluous checks
      - supplement documentation
  v4: - add gpiod_set_array function for setting logical values
      - change interface of the set_multiple driver function to use
        unsigned long as type for the bit fields
      - use generic bitops (which also use unsigned long for bit fields)
      - do not use ARCH_NR_GPIOS any more
  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 functions set the output values of an array of GPIOs:
+
+	void gpiod_set_array(unsigned int array_size,
+			     struct gpio_desc **desc_array,
+			     int *value_array)
+	void gpiod_set_raw_array(unsigned int array_size,
+				 struct gpio_desc **desc_array,
+				 int *value_array)
+	void gpiod_set_array_cansleep(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.
+Note that for optimal performance GPIOs belonging to the same chip should be
+contiguous within the array of descriptors.
+
+
 GPIOs mapped to IRQs
 --------------------
 GPIO lines can quite often be used as IRQs. You can get the IRQ number
