[PATCH 004/182] gpio: generic: factor into gpio_chip struct

[Tony Lindgren]

* Linus Walleij <linus.walleij at linaro.org> [151209 05:14]:
> The separate struct bgpio_chip has been a pain to handle, both
> by being confusingly similar in name to struct gpio_chip and
> for being contained inside a struct so that struct gpio_chip
> is contained in a struct contained in a struct, making several
> steps of dereferencing necessary.
> 
> Make things simpler: include the fields directly into
> <linux/gpio/driver.h>, #ifdef:ed for CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO, and
> get rid of the <linux/basic_mmio_gpio.h> altogether. Prefix
> some of the member variables with bgpio_* and add proper
> kerneldoc while we're at it.
> 
> Modify all users to handle the change and use a struct
> gpio_chip directly. And while we're at it: replace all
> container_of() dereferencing by gpiochip_get_data() and
> registering the gpio_chip with gpiochip_add_data().
...

> ARM SoC folks and Lee: it would be great if you could
> ACK the few lines hitting arch/arm/* and drivers/mfd/* in this
> so I can take it through the GPIO tree.
