	Hi Linus, Bartosz, Andy,

This patch series contains two improvements for the parsing code in the
GPIO Aggregator.

The second one converts the driver to use bitmap_parselist() for parsing
GPIO offsets and/or ranges, as suggested by Andy[1].
Note that I'm not super happy with the mask[] array on the stack.  But
there is no real limit on the number of GPIO lines provided by a single
gpiochip, except for the global ARCH_NR_GPIOS.

I also considered getting rid of the custom isrange() function.
However, the check for "!isrange(offsets)" cannot be replaced by a check
for bitmap_parselist() returning -EINVAL, as bitmap_parselist() happily
accepts an empty list.  Hence I'm afraid isrange() has to stay.

Andy also suggested to use strstrip() in get_arg().  However, I see no
point in that, as get_arg() has to find the end of the actual parameter
anyway.

Thanks for your comments!
