Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] leds: Fix pca955x GPIO pin mappings

Hello,

This series does a bunch of crimes, so it's an RFC. I'm cross-posting to the
pinctrl/GPIO and LEDs lists because the PCA955x devices impact all of them. What
needs fixing is the leds-pca955x driver's failure to map the GPIO numberspace to
the pin numberspace of the PCA955x devices. The series solves that by
implementing pinctrl and pinmux in the leds-pca955x driver.

Things I'm unsure about:

1. Patch 1: The pinctrl_gpio_as_pin() API feels a bit dirty, not sure what
   others thoughts are on that (Linus?).

2. Patch 2: I've added a new callback to hook the entirety of the pinctrl map
   parsing rather than supplying a subnode-specific callback. This was necessary
   to handle the PCA955x devicetree binding in a backwards compatible way.

3. Patch 4: The PCA955x devices don't actually have any pinmux hardware, but the
   properties of the pinctrl/pinmux subsystems in the kernel map nicely onto the
   problem we have. But it's quite a bit of code...

4. Patch 6: I also lost a bunch of time to overlooking the get_group_pins()
   callback for pinctrl, and it seems odd to me that it isn't required.

Please review!

Andrew
