Alexandre Courbot 39b2bbe3d7 gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions ... The huge majority of GPIOs have their direction and initial value set right after being obtained by one of the gpiod_get() functions. The integer GPIO API had gpio_request_one() that took a convenience flags parameter allowing to specify an direction and value applied to the returned GPIO. This feature greatly simplifies client code and ensures errors are always handled properly. A similar feature has been requested for the gpiod API. Since setting the direction of a GPIO is so often the very next action done after obtaining its descriptor, we prefer to extend the existing functions instead of introducing new functions that would raise the number of gpiod getters to 16 (!). The drawback of this approach is that all gpiod clients need to be updated. To limit the pain, temporary macros are introduced that allow gpiod_get*() to be called with or without the extra flags argument. They will be removed once all consumer code has been updated.
