David Brownell 15fae37d9f gpiolib: pcf857x i2c gpio expander support
This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based
"quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several
compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz).

The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO
programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code.  The
lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation
of board-specific drivers for these chips...  stuff that rarely makes it
upstream since it's so ugly.  This driver will let such boards use standard
calls.

Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of
board-specific init.  That eliminates the need for error-prone manual
configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy
drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear
either/or disjunction).

/**
* struct pcf857x_platform_data - data to set up pcf857x driver
* @gpio_base: number of the chip's first GPIO
* @n_latch: optional bit-inverse of initial register value; if
* you leave this initialized to zero the driver will act
* like the chip was just reset
* @setup: optional callback issued once the GPIOs are valid
* @teardown: optional callback issued before the GPIOs are invalidated
* @context: optional parameter passed to setup() and teardown()
*
* In addition to the I2C_BOARD_INFO() state appropriate to each chip,
* the i2c_board_info used with the pcf875x driver must provide the
* chip "type" ("pcf8574", "pcf8574a", "pcf8575", "pcf8575c") and its
* platform_data (pointer to one of these structures) with at least
* the gpio_base value initialized.
*
* The @setup callback may be used with the kind of board-specific glue
* which hands the (now-valid) GPIOs to other drivers, or which puts
* devices in their initial states using these GPIOs.
*
* These GPIO chips are only "quasi-bidirectional"; read the chip specs
* to understand the behavior. They don't have separate registers to
* record which pins are used for input or output, record which output
* values are driven, or provide access to input values. That must be
* inferred by reading the chip's value and knowing the last value written
* to it. If you leave n_latch initialized to zero, that last written
* value is presumed to be all ones (as if the chip were just reset).
