The FMC subsystem was created in 2012 with the ambition to
drive development of drivers for this hardware upstream.
The current implementation has architectural flaws and would
need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can
reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g.
I2C, FPGA and GPIO.
We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be
better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean
slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.

FMC has its own GPIO handling, the inclusion of <linux/gpio.h>
is only to reuse some flags that we can just as well provide
using local defines.

This gave us more freedom to change/add/remove operations without
recompiling all device driver.
Typically, Carrier board implement the fmc operations, so they will not
use these helpers.

This simple do-nothing mezzanine driver shows how to write a mezzanine
driver, that can also handle interrupts reported by the carrier.
