thorpej | Re-factor and overhaul the "mcp23s17gpio" driver as "mcpgpio", and
add support for 8-bit and I2C variants of the chip:
- MCP23008 / MCP23S08: 8-bit (I2C / SPI)
- MCP23017 / MCP23S17: 16-bit (I2C / SPI)
- MCP23018 / MCP23S18: 16-bit (I2C / SPI), open-drain outputs
The MCP23x17 and MCP23x18 are essentially identical, software-wise; we
merely report different GPIO pin capabilities (no push-pull output for
MCP23x18). Also, remove the tri-state capability that was previously
advertised by the old version of this driver; these chips have no way
to put the pin into a HI-Z mode.
All 3 I2C versions are supported, but the SPI front-end still only
supports the MCP23S17 for now (SPI autoconfiguration needs an overhaul).
mcp23s17gpio(4) remains present as a link to the new mcpgpio(4) man page.
XXX Still to-do: FDT integration, interrupt suppoort.
