[PATCH v5 00/11] gpio: implement the configfs testing module

[Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl>]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com>

This series adds a new GPIO testing module based on configfs committable items
and sysfs. The goal is to provide a testing driver that will be configurable
at runtime (won't need module reload) and easily extensible. The control over
the attributes is also much more fine-grained than in gpio-mockup.

This series also contains a respin of the patches I sent separately to the
configfs maintainers - these patches implement the concept of committable
items that was well defined for a long time but never actually completed.

Apart from the new driver itself, its selftests and the configfs patches, this
series contains some changes to the bitmap API - most importantly: it adds
devres managed variants of bitmap_alloc() and bitmap_zalloc().

v1 -> v2:
- add selftests for gpio-sim
- add helper programs for selftests
- update the configfs rename callback to work with the new API introduced in
  v5.11
- fix a missing quote in the documentation
- use !! whenever using bits operation that are required to return 0 or 1
- use provided bitmap API instead of reimplementing copy or fill operations
- fix a deadlock in gpio_sim_direction_output()
- add new read-only configfs attributes for mapping of configfs items to GPIO
  device names
- and address other minor issues pointed out in reviews of v1

v2 -> v3:
- use devm_bitmap_alloc() instead of the zalloc variant if we're initializing
  the bitmap with 1s
- drop the patch exporting device_is_bound()
- don't return -ENODEV from dev_nam and chip_name configfs attributes, return
  a string indicating that the device is not available yet ('n/a')
- fix indentation where it makes sense
- don't protect IDA functions which use their own locking and where it's not
  needed
- use kmemdup() instead of kzalloc() + memcpy()
- collected review tags
- minor coding style fixes

v3 -> v4:
- return 'none' instead of 'n/a' from dev_name and chip_name before the device
  is registered
- use sysfs_emit() instead of s*printf()
- drop GPIO_SIM_MAX_PROP as it's only used in an array's definition where it's
  fine to hardcode the value

v4 -> v5:
- export devm bitmap functions with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() instead of a simple
  EXPORT_SYMBOL()

Bartosz Golaszewski (11):
