This module scans the device tree (for now only OF nodes are supported
but care is taken to make other fwnode implementations easy to
integrate) and determines which GPIO lines are shared by multiple users.
It stores that information in memory. When the GPIO chip exposing shared
lines is registered, the shared GPIO descriptors it exposes are marked
as shared and virtual "proxy" devices that mediate access to the shared
lines are created. When a consumer of a shared GPIO looks it up, its
fwnode lookup is redirected to a just-in-time machine lookup that points
to this proxy device.
This code can be compiled out on platforms which don't use shared GPIOs.
