David Brownell 15fae37d9f gpiolib: pcf857x i2c gpio expander support
This is a new-style I2C driver for most common 8 and 16 bit I2C based
"quasi-bidirectional" GPIO expanders: pcf8574 or pcf8575, and several
compatible models (mostly faster, supporting I2C at up to 1 MHz).

The driver exposes the GPIO signals using the platform-neutral GPIO
programming interface, so they are easily accessed by other kernel code.  The
lack of such a flexible kernel API has been a big factor in the proliferation
of board-specific drivers for these chips...  stuff that rarely makes it
upstream since it's so ugly.  This driver will let such boards use standard
calls.

Since it's a new-style driver, these devices must be configured as part of
board-specific init.  That eliminates the need for error-prone manual
configuration of module parameters, and makes compatibility with legacy
drivers (pcf8574.c, pc8575.c) for these chips easier (there's a clear
either/or disjunction).
