gpio: expose pull-up/pull-down line flags to userspace

cover gpio: expose pull-up/pull-down line flags to userspace
This series adds gross control of pull-up/pull-down to the GPIO uAPI. Gross control means enabling and disabling of bias functionality, not finer grained control such as setting biasing impedances.
The support allows both input and output lines to have any one of the following biases applied as part of the line handle or event request:
0. As Is - bias is left alone. This is the default for ABI compatibility.
1. Pull Up - pull-up bias is enabled.
2. Pull Down - pull-down bias is enabled.
3. Pull None - bias is explicitly disabled.
The biases are encoded in two flags, PULL_UP and PULL_DOWN, where setting both is interpreted as Pull None. So the flags effectively form a two bit field encoding the values above.
The setting of biases on output lines may seem odd, but is to allow for utilisation of internal pull-up/pull-down on open drain and open source outputs, where supported in hardware.

which contains the initial patch from Drew Fustini, with Bartosz Golaszewski, that adds support for pull-up/down flags in line handle requests.
Patch 1 adds support to line event requests.
Patch 2 adds pull-up/down support to the gpio-mockup for uAPI testing. Patch 3 rejects biasing changes to lines requested as-is. Patch 4 adds support for disabling bias (pull none).
Patch 5 adds support for setting bias on output lines.

PATCH 2/5 gpio: mockup: add set_config to support pull up/down
In reply to Kent GibsonThis patch adds support for the pull up/down state set via gpiolib line requests to be reflected in the state of the mockup.
Use case is for testing of the GPIO uAPI, specifically the pull up/down flags.

PATCH 4/5 gpiolib: disable bias on inputs when pull up/down are both set
In reply to Kent GibsonThis patch allows pull up/down bias to be disabled, allowing the line to float or to be biased only by external circuitry. Use case is for where the bias has been applied previously, either by default or by the user, but that setting may conflict with the current use of the line.

Hi Kent,
thanks for doing that, but please make it easier to review. The cover letter shouldn't be sent in response to this thread but be part of the patch series. Please don't rebase the patches on top of my development/experimental branch - every patch needs to spend some time on the mailing list. Rebase the series on top of the latest mainline release candidate. Pull in Drew's changes and just squash my code into your patches - it was not finished anyway. You can send patches from other developers or make them part of your series - there's no problem with that as long as you keep the authorship.
That'll make it much easier to review and understand.
Thanks in advance!

Fair enough. I was unsure about including others' patches in the series, so kept it minimal. Will update the series as soon as I get the chance (and know where to send it).
