Subject: [PATCH 1/2] gpiolib: Introduce gpiod_device_add_link()

With device-tree, some devlink related to gpios are automatically added
when a consumer device is added and the attached node has phandles
related to GPIOs.
In some cases, the real device used to get the gpio during a probe() can
be related to an of-node parent of the of-node used for the already done
automatically devlink creation.
For instance, a driver can be bound to a device and, during the
probe(), the driver can walk its of-node children to get the GPIO
described in these children nodes.
In that case, an additional devlink between the device attached to the
driver and the gpio consumer need to be created.
Indeed, if the GPIO is removed, the consumer/supplier dependency should
lead to remove first the consuming driver before removing the supplier.

In order to give the possibility to this kind of driver to add additional
devlinks, introduce gpiod_device_add_link().
