Subject: [PATCH v4 0/8] gpio: notify user-space about config changes in the
 kernel

We currently only emit events on changed line config to user-space on
changes made from user-space. Users have no way of getting notified
about in-kernel changes. This series improves the situation and also
contains a couple other related improvements.

This is a reworked approach which gets and stores as much info (all of
it actually, except for the pinctrl state) the moment the event occurrs
but moves the actual queueing of the event on the kfifo to a dedicated
high-priority, ordered workqueue.

Changes in v4:
- don't emit additional events when emulating open-source or open-drain
  from gpiod_direction_output(), to that end use the nonotify variants
  of gpiod_direction_input()
- store current debounce period in the GPIO line descriptor and remove
  the entire supinfo infrastructure from gpiolib-cdev.c
- fix all (hopefully) corner-cases where two reconfigure or
  requested/reconfigured events could be emitted for a single logical
  event
- emit the reconfigure event from gpio_set_debounce_timeout()
- add a patch refactoring gpio_do_set_config()
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241015-gpio-notify-in-kernel-events-v3-0-9edf05802271@linaro.org

Changes in v3:
- don't reach into pinctrl if the USED flag is already set
- reword the comment from patch 5 and move it one patch back
- don't abandon emitting the event if the GPIO chip is gone by the time
  the work is executed, just don't reach into pinctrl and return
  whatever data we already had
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241010-gpio-notify-in-kernel-events-v2-0-b560411f7c59@linaro.org

Changes in v2:
- put all line-info events emitting on a workqueue to allow queueing
  them from atomic context
- switch the notifier type used for emitting info events to atomic
- add a patch notifying user-space about drivers requesting their own
  descs
- drop patches that were picked up
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241004-gpio-notify-in-kernel-events-v1-0-8ac29e1df4fe@linaro.org
