      Documentation: gpiolib: document new interface · fd8e198c
      Alexandre Courbot 提交于
      gpiolib now exports a new descriptor-based interface which deprecates
      the older integer-based one. This patch documents this new interface and
      also takes the opportunity to brush-up the GPIO documentation a little
      bit.
      
      The new descriptor-based interface follows the same consumer/driver
      model as many other kernel subsystems (e.g. clock, regulator), so its
      documentation has similarly been splitted into different files.
      
      The content of the former documentation has been reused whenever it
      made sense; however, some of its content did not apply to the new
      interface anymore and have this been removed. Likewise, new sections
      like the mapping of GPIOs to devices have been written from scratch.
      
      The deprecated legacy-based documentation is still available, untouched,
      under Documentation/gpio/gpio-legacy.txt.
