gpio: Introduce ->get_multiple callback
SPI-attached GPIO controllers typically read out all inputs in one go. If callers desire the values of multipe inputs, ideally a single readout should take place to return the desired values. However the current driver API only offers a ->get callback but no ->get_multiple (unlike ->set_multiple, which is present). Thus, to read multiple inputs, a full readout needs to be performed for every single value (barring driver-internal caching), which is inefficient. In fact, the lack of a ->get_multiple callback has been bemoaned repeatedly by the gpio subsystem maintainer: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-gpio/msg10571.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg121734.html Introduce the missing callback. Add corresponding consumer functions such as gpiod_get_array_value(). Amend linehandle_ioctl() to take advantage of the newly added infrastructure. Update the documentation.
