When the kernel is running in secure boot mode, we lock down the kernel to
prevent userspace from modifying the running kernel image. Whilst this
includes prohibiting access to things like /dev/mem, it must also prevent
access by means of configuring driver modules in such a way as to cause a
device to access or modify the kernel image.
To this end, annotate module_param* statements that refer to hardware
configuration and indicate for future reference what type of parameter they
specify. The parameter parser in the core sees this information and can
skip such parameters with an error message if the kernel is locked down.
The module initialisation then runs as normal, but just sees whatever the
default values for those parameters is.
Note that we do still need to do the module initialisation because some
drivers have viable defaults set in case parameters aren't specified and
some drivers support automatic configuration (e.g. PNP or PCI) in addition
to manually coded parameters.
This patch annotates drivers in drivers/gpio/.

This patch sets the gpio_chip names option with an array of GPIO line
names that match the manual documentation for the Diamond Systems
GPIO-MM. This should make it easier for users to identify which GPIO
line corresponds to a respective GPIO pin on the device.

Setting driver_data was necessary to access private data in the
gpiomm_remove function. Now that the gpiomm_remove function is gone,
driver_data is no longer used. This patch removes the relevant code.

The devm_ resource manager functions allow memory to be automatically
released when a device is unbound. This patch takes advantage of the
resource manager functions and replaces the gpiochip_add_data call with
the devm_gpiochip_add_data call. In addition, the gpiomm_remove function
has been removed as no longer necessary due to the use of the relevant
devm_ resource manager functions.

The Diamond Systems GPIO-MM series provides registers where 8 lines of
GPIO may be set at a time. This patch add support for the set_multiple
callback function, thus allowing multiple GPIO output lines to be set
more efficiently in groups.

The Diamond Systems GPIO-MM device features 48 lines of digital I/O via
the emulation of dual 82C55A PPI chips. This driver provides GPIO
support for these 48 channels of digital I/O. The base port addresses
for the devices may be configured via the base array module parameter.
