Subject: [PATCH v5 07/12] gpio: regmap: add the .fixed_direction_output configuration parameter

There are GPIO controllers such as the one present in the LX2160ARDB
QIXIS FPGA which have fixed-direction input and output GPIO lines mixed
together in a single register. This cannot be modeled using the
gpio-regmap as-is since there is no way to present the true direction of
a GPIO line.

In order to make this use case possible, add a new configuration
parameter - fixed_direction_output - into the gpio_regmap_config
structure. This will enable user drivers to provide a bitmap that
represents the fixed direction of the GPIO lines.

Signed-off-by: Ioana Ciornei <ioana.ciornei@....com>
---
Changes in v2:
- Add the fixed_direction_output bitmap to the gpio_regmap_config
Changes in v3:
- Make a deep copy of the new bitmap.
- Remove the offset check against the ngpio.
- Added documentation for the new config field.
Changes in v4:
- Replace devres bitmap allocation with bitmap_alloc() and
  bitmap_free().
Changes in v5:
- Rebased on top of latest linux-next, change the extra goto statement.
