[PATCH 1/5] gpiolib: devres: Introduce the function devm_request_gpio_array

[Rob Jones]

Please note that I submitted a patch on 02/07/14 to create this
function which was acked by Linus Walleij on 05/07/14.

Great minds think alike, and all that.

However, I think that the version I submitted better replicates the
original (non devm) functionality, see below.

I didn't, however, add it to the documentation. +1 on that.

The failure path in the version I submitted frees up any already
allocated gpios on the first failure.
