[RESEND PATCH v4 0/8] Introduce the for_each_set_clump macro

[William Breathitt Gray <vilhelm.gray@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a resend of v4 in hopes of getting some more ACKS and a few more
eyes on this patchset.

Changes in v4:
  - Fix bitmap_set arguments (last parameter is nbits not endbit)

While adding GPIO get_multiple/set_multiple callback support for various
drivers, I noticed a pattern of looping manifesting that would be useful
standardized as a macro.

This patchset introduces the for_each_set_clump macro and utilizes it in
several GPIO drivers. The for_each_set_clump macro facilitates a
for-loop syntax that iterates over entire groups of set bits at a time.

For example, suppose you would like to iterate over a 16-bit integer 4
bits at a time, skipping over 4-bit groups with no set bit, where XXXX
represents the current 4-bit group:

    Example:        1011 1110 0000 1111
    First loop:     1011 1110 0000 XXXX
    Second loop:    1011 XXXX 0000 1111
    Third loop:     XXXX 1110 0000 1111

Each iteration of the loop returns the next 4-bit group that has at
least one set bit.

The for_each_set_clump macro has six parameters:

    * clump: set to current clump index for the iteration
    * index: set to current bitmap word index for the iteration
    * offset: bits offset of the found clump in the bitmap word
    * bits: bitmap to search within
    * size: bitmap size in number of clumps
    * clump_size: clump size in number of bits

The clump_size argument can be an arbitrary number of bits and is not
required to be a multiple of 2.

This patchset was rebased on top of the following three commits:

    * commit aaf96e51de11 ("gpio: pci-idio-16: Fix port memory offset for get_multiple callback")
    * commit 304440aa96c6 ("gpio: pcie-idio-24: Fix port memory offset for get_multiple/set_multiple callbacks")
    * commit e026646c178d ("gpio: pcie-idio-24: Fix off-by-one error in get_multiple loop")

When I implemented the test_for_each_set_clump function, I used
bitmap_set to set the expected bitmap for the test. This method of
setting bits only segments at a time was rather tedious and error-prone;
is there a better way to accomplish what I did (set a bitmap after a
DECLARE_BITMAP)?
