[PATCH 3.9 1/3] misc: new driver for GPIO-connected 7-segment displays

This patch adds a driver to control 7-segment displays connected over
GPIOs through a BCD encoder. Typically, up to four GPIOs go into a BCD
encoder, that drives the 7-segment display to display a numeric value
between 0 and 2^ngpios-1.
Once this driver is enabled, it creates a 'value' field in the sysfs
directory of the device, which allows to set the current value
displayed by the 7-segment.
It has been successfully tested on the Marvell Armada 370 and Marvell
Armada XP evaluation boards. Both of them have a 7-segment display
that can be controlled using 3 GPIOs.

+* 7-segment driver connected over GPIO through a BCD decoder

+Required properties:
+- compatible: "generic,gpio-7seg"
+- gpios: list of GPIOs to use to control the 7-segment display
+
+Optional properties:
+- default-value: default value shown by the 7-segment display at boot
+ time. If not defined, defaults to 0.
+
+Example:
+
+gpio-7seg at 0 {
+ compatible = "generic,gpio-7seg";
+ status = "okay";
+ gpios = <&gpio1 27 0 &gpio1 28 0 &gpio1 29 0>;
+ default-value = <5>;
