[PATCH v6 08/13] gpio: regmap: support write_data_after_dir and girq

From: Long Zhao <longzhao at ambarella.com>

Add an optional write-after-direction-output quirk for controllers
that ignore data-register writes while a line is still configured as
input, and allow drivers to pass an existing gpio_irq_chip through
gpio_regmap_register() so IRQ setup can stay with the caller.
