[RFC PATCH 1/2] pinctrl: add consumer variant for gpio request

[Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a consumer variant to GPIO request relative functions. The goal
is to fix the bad ownership, which is arbitrary set to
"range->name:gpio", of a GPIO.

There is a lack of configuration features for GPIO. For instance,
we can't set the bias. Some pin controllers manage both device's
pins and GPIOs. GPIOs can benefit from pin configuration. Usually,
a pinctrl node is used to mux the pin as a GPIO and to set up its
configuration.

The pinmuxing strict mode involves that a pin which is muxed can't
be requested as a GPIO if the owner is not the same. Unfortunately,
the ownership of a GPIO is set arbitrarily to "range->name:gpio".
So there is a mismatch about the ownership which prevents a device
from being the owner of the pinmuxing and requesting the same pin as
a GPIO.

Adding some consumer variants for GPIO request stuff will allow to
pass the name of the device which requests the GPIO to not return an
error if it's also the owner of the pinmuxing.
