Subject: [PATCH RFC/RFT 14/15] gpio: sysfs: allow disabling the legacy
 parts of the GPIO sysfs interface

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

Add a Kconfig switch allowing to disable the legacy parts of the GPIO
sysfs interface. This means that even though we keep the
/sys/class/gpio/ directory, it no longer contains the global
export/unexport attribute pair (instead, the user should use the
per-chip export/unpexport) nor the gpiochip$BASE entries. This option
default to y if GPIO sysfs is enabled but we'll default it to n at some
point in the future.

Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>
