The pinctrl_request_gpio() and pinctrl_free_gpio() break the nice
namespacing in the other cross-calls like pinctrl_gpio_foo().
Just rename them and all references so we have one namespace
with all cross-calls under pinctrl_gpio_*().

The GPIOLIB is now selectable explicitly, and always available
for all archs. All archs that require GPIOLIB are switched to
select GPIOLIB directly. Delete the hairy ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB
and ARCH_WANTS_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB Kconfig symbols.

Remove gpiod_sysfs_set_active_low (and gpio_sysfs_set_active_low) which
allowed code to change the polarity of a gpio line even after it had
been exported through sysfs.
Drivers should not care, and generally does not know, about gpio-line
polarity which is a hardware feature that needs to be described by
firmware.
It is currently possible to define gpio-line polarity in device-tree and
acpi firmware or using platform data. Userspace can also change the
polarity through sysfs.
Note that drivers using the legacy gpio interface could still use
GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW to change the polarity before exporting the gpio.
There are no in-kernel users of this interface.

gpiolib now exports a new descriptor-based interface which deprecates
the older integer-based one. This patch documents this new interface and
also takes the opportunity to brush-up the GPIO documentation a little
bit.
The new descriptor-based interface follows the same consumer/driver
model as many other kernel subsystems (e.g. clock, regulator), so its
documentation has similarly been splitted into different files.
The content of the former documentation has been reused whenever it
made sense; however, some of its content did not apply to the new
interface anymore and have this been removed. Likewise, new sections
like the mapping of GPIOs to devices have been written from scratch.
The deprecated legacy-based documentation is still available, untouched,
under Documentation/gpio/gpio-legacy.txt.
