I sympathize fully with the goal and intentions of the series, I
agree: this is awesome to have for testing and validation of
GPIO.

I'm reluctant about the changes to gpiolib and want to make that
code as optional as possible, definately #ifdef if nothing else
works. Otherwise the memory footprint people will get me for this,
haha. ;)

The absolutely best would be if the driver could inject "real"
irqs and also exercise the gpiolib irqchip helpers. I have been
vaguely thinking that sofware interrupts should be able to do this
but I'm not very versed in that kind of stuff.

The changes to gpio-mockup.c are entirely uncontroversial, it
is for testing so I'm willing to accept almost anything if it looks
maintainable and helps in testing.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
