Introduce a new device `gpio` that is going to be used for generic
abstraction of gpio operations in the devicetree.
The general idea behind this is that every chip can have gpios that
shall be accessible in a very generic way by any driver through the
devicetree.
The chip that implements the chip-specific gpio operations has to assign
them to the generic device operations struct, which then gets assigned
to the gpio device during device probing. See CB:48583 for how this gets
done for the SoCs using intelblocks/gpio.
The gpio device then can be added to the devicetree with an alias name
like in the following example:
chip soc/whateverlake
device gpio 0 alias soc_gpio on end
...
end
Any driver that requires access to this gpio device needs to have a
device pointer (or multiple) and an option for specifying the gpio to be
used in its chip config like this:
struct drivers_ipmi_config {
...
DEVTREE_CONST struct device *gpio_dev;
u16 post_complete_gpio;
...
};
The device `soc_gpio` can then be linked to the chip driver's `gpio_dev`
above by using the syntax `use ... as ...`, which was introduced in
commit
