To unify how we connect cascaded IRQ chips to parent IRQs, if
NULL us passed as handler to the gpiochip_set_chained_irqchip()
function, assume the chips is nested rather than chained, and
we still get the parent set up correctly by way of this function
call.
Alter the drivers for tc3589x and stmpe to use this to set up
their chained handlers as a demonstration of the usage.

The current prototype of gpiochip_request_own_desc() requires to obtain
a pointer to a descriptor. This is in contradiction to all other GPIO
request schemes, and imposes an extra step of obtaining a descriptor to
drivers. Most drivers actually cannot even perform that step since the
function that does it (gpichip_get_desc()) is gpiolib-private.
Change gpiochip_request_own_desc() to return a descriptor from a
(chip, hwnum) tuple and update users of this function (currently
gpiolib-acpi only).

Both functions were introduced to let gpio drivers request their own
gpio pins. Without exporting the functions, this can however only be
used by gpio drivers built into the kernel.
Secondary impact is that the functions can not currently be used by
platform initialization code associated with the gpio-pca953x driver.
This code permits auto-export of gpio pins through platform data, but
if this functionality is used, the module can no longer be unloaded due
to the problem solved with the introduction of gpiochip_request_own_desc
and gpiochip_free_own_desc.
Export both function so they can be used from modules and from
platform initialization code.

gpio_lock/unlock_as_irq() are working with (chip, offset) arguments and
are thus not using the old integer namespace. Therefore, there is no
reason to have gpiod variants of these functions working with
descriptors, especially since the (chip, offset) tuple is more suitable
to the users of these functions (GPIO drivers, whereas GPIO descriptors
are targeted at GPIO consumers).

This adds some documentation about the GPIO irqchips, what types
exist etc.

Write a few words on how GPIO drivers supplying an irqchip should
be written.

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.
