Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] gpio: Add gpio latch driver

This driver implements a GPIO multiplexer based on latches connected to
other GPIOs. A set of data GPIOs is connected to the data input of
multiple latches. The clock input of each latch is driven by another
set of GPIOs. With two 8-bit latches 10 GPIOs can be multiplexed into
16 GPIOs. GPOs might be a better term as in fact the multiplexed pins
are output only.

Notes:
Changes since v4:
- Use correct ndelay instead of udelay
- Use #define for constant value
- drop unnecessary delay

Changes since v3:
- Introduce delays between GPIO toggles as suggested by Serge Semin

Changes since v2:
- Fix inconsistent licensing
- document locks
- use regular bit operations
- include linux/mod_devicetable.h rather than linux/of_device.h
- Put spinlock and mutex into a union to make clear that only one of them is used
- rename __gpio_latch_set to gpio_latch_set_unlocked

Changes since v1:
- Use gpiod_set_value_cansleep when the underlying GPIOs might sleep
- Move MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE near to the end

As I mentioned in v4 it would be better to place this above the struct
gpio_latch_priv declaration with the same comment. It's a common
practice to collect the macros in the head of the C-files above any
struct or forward declarations. But I guess @Linus or @Bartosz could
do that after merging the patch in if they find it's worth to be done.
