Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] gpio: deprecate the GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_NONEXCLUSIVE
 flag

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

The non-exclusive GPIO request flag looks like a functional feature but
is in fact a workaround for a corner-case that got out of hand. It should
be removed so deprecate it officially so that nobody uses it anymore.

Acked-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>
