Implement a new, modern GPIO testing module controlled by configfs
attributes instead of module parameters. The goal of this driver is
to provide a replacement for gpio-mockup that will be easily extensible
with new features and doesn't require reloading the module to change
the setup.

+Configfs GPIO Simulator
+=======================
+
+The configfs GPIO Simulator (gpio-sim) provides a way to create simulated GPIO
+chips for testing purposes. The lines exposed by these chips can be accessed
+using the standard GPIO character device interface as well as manipulated
+using sysfs attributes.
+
+Creating simulated chips
+------------------------
+
+The gpio-sim module registers a configfs subsystem called 'gpio-sim'.
+
+In order to instantiate a new simulated chip, the user needs to mkdir() a new
+directory gpio-sim/. Inside each new directory, there's a set of attributes
+that can be used to configure the new chip. Additionally the user can mkdir()
+subdirectories inside the chip's directory that allow to pass additional
+configuration for specific lines. The name of those subdirectories must take
+the form of: 'line<offset>' (e.g. 'line0', 'line20', etc.) as the name will be
+used by the module to assign the config to the specific line at given offset.
+
+Once the confiuration is complete, the 'live' attribute must be set to 1 in
+order to instantiate the chip. It can be set back to 0 to destroy the simulated
+chip. The module will synchronously wait for the new simulated device to be
+successfully probed and if this doesn't happen, writing to 'live' will result
+in an error.
+
+Currently supported chip configuration attributes are:
+
+  num_lines - an unsigned integer value defining the number of GPIO lines to
+              export
+
+  label - a string defining the label for the GPIO chip
+
+Additionally two read-only attributes named 'chip_name' and 'dev_name' are
+exposed in order to provide users with a mapping from configfs directories to
+the actual devices created in the kernel. The former returns the name of the
+GPIO device as assigned by gpiolib (i.e. "gpiochip0", "gpiochip1", etc.). The
+latter returns the parent device name as defined by the gpio-sim driver (i.e.
+"gpio-sim.0", "gpio-sim.1", etc.). This allows user-space to map the configfs
+items both to the correct character device file as well as the associated entry
+in sysfs.
+
+Supported line configuration attributes are:
+
+  name - a string defining the name of this line as used by the
+         "gpio-line-names" device property
+
+Lines can be hogged by creating a new directory under the line's directory. The
+directory must be called 'hog' and there can only be a single instance of it.
+The hog directory also exposes additional attributes:
+
+  name - name of the kernel consumer of this hogged line
+
+  direction - hog direction, must be one of: 'input', 'output-high' and
+              'output-low'
+
+Simulated GPIO chips can also be defined in device-tree. The compatible string
+must be: "gpio-simulator". Supported properties are:
+
+  "gpio-sim,label" - chip label
+
+Other standard GPIO properties (like "gpio-line-names", "ngpios" or gpio-hog)
+are also supported.
+
+Manipulating simulated lines
+----------------------------
+
+Each simulated GPIO chip creates a separate sysfs group under its device
+directory for each exposed line. The name of each group is of the form:
+'sim_gpioX' where X is the offset of the line. Inside each group there are
+two attibutes:
+
+  pull - allows to read and set the current simulated pull setting for every
+         line, when writing the value must be one of: 'pull-up', 'pull-down'
+
+  value - allows to read the current value of the line which may be different
+          from the pull if the line is being driven from user-space
