Put in some documentation for the new character device ABI
so we can properly etch it in stone.

This creates GPIO tools under tools/gpio/* and adds a single
example program to list the GPIOs on a system. When proper
devices are created it provides this minimal output:

A new chardev that is to be used for userspace GPIO access is
added in this patch. It is intended to gradually replace the
horribly broken sysfs ABI.
Using a chardev has many upsides:
- All operations are per-gpiochip, which is the actual
device underlying the GPIOs, making us tie in to the
kernel device model properly.
- Hotpluggable GPIO controllers can come and go, as this
kind of problem has been know to userspace for character
devices since ages, and if a gpiochip handle is held in
userspace we know we will break something, whereas the
sysfs is stateless.
- The one-value-per-file rule of sysfs is really hard to
maintain when you want to twist more than one knob at a time,
for example have in-kernel APIs to switch several GPIO
lines at the same time, and this will be possible to do
with a single ioctl() from userspace, saving a lot of
context switching.
We also need to add a new bus type for GPIO. This is
necessary for example for userspace coldplug, where sysfs is
traversed to find the boot-time device nodes and create the
character devices in /dev.
This new chardev ABI is *non* *optional* and can be counted
on to be present in the future, emphasizing the preference
of this ABI.
The ABI only implements one single ioctl() to get the name
and number of GPIO lines of a chip. Even this is debatable:
see it as a minimal example for review. This ABI shall be
ruthlessly reviewed and etched in stone.
The old /sys/class/gpio is still optional to compile in,
but will be deprecated.
Unique device IDs are created using IDR, which is overkill
and insanely scalable, but also well tested.

The ACCES 104-DIO-48E device provides 48 lines digital I/O via two
Programmable Peripheral Interface (PPI) chips of type 82C55. Bit C3 at
each 24-bit Group can be used as an external interrupt, triggered by a
rising edge.
This driver provides GPIO and IRQ support for these 48 channels of
digital I/O. The base port address for the device may be configured via
the dio_48e_base module parameter. The interrupt line number for the
device may be configured via the dio_48e_irq module parameter.

Pull more power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This includes fixes on top of the previous batch of PM+ACPI updates
and some new material as well.
From the new material perspective the most significant are the driver
core changes that should allow USB devices to stay suspended over
system suspend/resume cycles if they have been runtime-suspended
already beforehand. Apart from that, ACPICA is updated to upstream
revision 20160108 (cosmetic mostly, but including one fixup on top of
the previous ACPICA update) and there are some devfreq updates the
didn't make it before (due to timing).
A few recent regressions are fixed, most importantly in the cpuidle
menu governor and in the ACPI backlight driver and some x86 platform
drivers depending on it.
Some more bugs are fixed and cleanups are made on top of that.
Specifics:
- Modify the driver core and the USB subsystem to allow USB devices
to stay suspended over system suspend/resume cycles if they have
been runtime-suspended already beforehand and fix some bugs on top
of these changes (Tomeu Vizoso, Rafael Wysocki).
- Update ACPICA to upstream revision 20160108, including updates of
the ACPICA's copyright notices, a code fixup resulting from a
regression fix that was necessary in the upstream code only (the
regression fixed by it has never been present in Linux) and a
compiler warning fix (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng).
- Fix a recent regression in the cpuidle menu governor that broke it
on practically all architectures other than x86 and make a couple
of optimizations on top of that fix (Rafael Wysocki).
- Clean up the selection of cpuidle governors depending on whether or
not the kernel is configured for tickless systems (Jean Delvare).
- Revert a recent commit that introduced a regression in the ACPI
backlight driver, address the problem it attempted to fix in a
different way and revert one more cosmetic change depending on the
problematic commit (Hans de Goede).
- Add two more ACPI backlight quirks (Hans de Goede).
- Fix a few minor problems in the core devfreq code, clean it up a
bit and update the MAINTAINERS information related to it (Chanwoo
Choi, MyungJoo Ham).
- Improve an error message in the ACPI fan driver (Andy Lutomirski).
- Fix a recent build regression in the cpupower tool (Shreyas
Prabhu)"
