Currently each exported GPIO is represented in sysfs as a separate class
device. This allows us to simply use dev_get_drvdata() to retrieve the
pointer passed to device_create_with_groups() from sysfs ops callbacks.
However, we're preparing to add a parallel set of per-line sysfs
attributes that will live inside the associated gpiochip group. They are
not registered as class devices and so have the parent device passed as
argument to their callbacks (the GPIO chip class device).
Put the attribute structs inside the GPIO descriptor data and
dereference the relevant ones using container_of() in the callbacks.
This way, we'll be able to reuse the same code for both the legacy and
new GPIO attributes.

In order to enable moving away from the global GPIO numberspace-based
exporting of lines over sysfs: add a parallel, per-chip entry under
/sys/class/gpio/ for every registered GPIO chip, denoted by device ID
in the file name and not its base GPIO number.
Compared to the existing chip group: it does not contain the "base"
attribute as the goal of this change is to not refer to GPIOs by their
global number from user-space anymore. It also contains its own,
per-chip export/unexport attribute pair which allow to export lines by
their hardware offset within the chip.
Caveat #1: the new device cannot be a link to (or be linked to by) the
existing "gpiochip<BASE>" entry as we cannot create links in
/sys/class/xyz/.
Caveat #2: the new entry cannot be named "gpiochipX" as it could
conflict with devices whose base is statically defined to a low number.

The "multi-function" gpio_lock is pretty much useless with how it's used
in GPIOLIB currently. Because many GPIO API calls can be called from all
contexts but may also call into sleeping driver callbacks, there are
many places with utterly broken workarounds like yielding the lock to
call a possibly sleeping function and then re-acquiring it again without
taking into account that the protected state may have changed.
It was also used to protect several unrelated things: like individual
descriptors AND the GPIO device list. We now serialize access to these
two with SRCU and so can finally remove the spinlock.
There is of course the question of consistency of lockless access to
GPIO descriptors. Because we only support exclusive access to GPIOs
(officially anyway, I'm looking at you broken
GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE bit...) and the API contract with providers
does not guarantee serialization, it's enough to ensure we cannot
accidentally dereference an invalid pointer and that the state we present
to both users and providers remains consistent. To achieve that: read the
flags field atomically except for a few special cases. Read their current
value before executing callback code and use this value for any subsequent
logic. Modifying the flags depends on the particular use-case and can
differ. For instance: when requesting a GPIO, we need to set the
REQUESTED bit immediately so that the next user trying to request the
same line sees -EBUSY.
While at it: the allocations that used GFP_ATOMIC until this point can
now switch to GFP_KERNEL.

To my knowledge, this does not affect any current users, since the
gpio_set_transitory() mainly returns 0 and -ENOTSUPP, which is converted
to 0. However the gpio_set_transitory() function calles the .set_config()
function of the corresponding GPIO chip and there are some GPIO drivers in
which some (unlikely) branches return other values like -EPROBE_DEFER,

things:
- kobject logging improvements
- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"

Some classes (i.e. gpio), want to know if they have been registered or
not, and poke around in the class's internal structures to try to figure
this out. Because this is not really a good idea, provide a function
for classes to call to try to figure this out.
Note, this is racy as the state of the class could change at any moment
in time after the call is made, but as usually a class only wants to
know if it has been registered yet or not, it should be fairly safe to
use, and is just as safe as the previous "poke at the class internals"
check was.
Move the gpiolib code to use this function as proof that it works
properly.

struct class should never be modified in a sysfs callback as there is
nothing in the structure to modify, and frankly, the structure is almost
never used in a sysfs callback, so mark it as constant to allow struct
class to be moved to read-only memory.
While we are touching all class sysfs callbacks also mark the attribute
as constant as it can not be modified. The bonding code still uses this
structure so it can not be removed from the function callbacks.

There is no need to manually set the owner of a struct class, as the
registering function does it automatically, so remove all of the
explicit settings from various drivers that did so as it is unneeded.
This allows us to remove this pointer entirely from this structure going
forward.

There is a few things done:
- include only the headers we are direct user of
- when pointer is in use, provide a forward declaration
- add missing headers
- group generic headers and subsystem headers
- sort each group alphabetically

There are only a handful of users of gpio_export() and
related functions.
As these are just wrappers around the modern gpiod_export()
helper, remove the wrappers and open-code the gpio_to_desc
in all callers to shrink the legacy API.
