Here is a first RFC for the new GPIO interface.

I'm quite happy with this, and given that all DT-implementations will start
to use it from day 1 I'll happily merge it when you think it's tested enough.

On my wishlist is to also switch over the ACPI GPIO driver:
drivers/gpio/gpiolib-acpi.c to use the descriptors directly, so
I'd like one of the ACPI folks to have a look at this patch set
and see how it looks from their angle.

Mika, Rafael, Mathias, and either of you guys have a look
at this?

Given that it seems like there won't be a linux-next from September 28
until close to the next merge window, it would be good to get this into
linux-next before that so that the series can receive broader testing. I
have some patches that could use this, but I'm hesitant to base them on
these patches because I want at least part of them to go into 3.13.
