device + util/sconfig: introduce new device `gpio`
Introduce a new device `gpio` that is going to be used for generic abstraction of gpio operations in the devicetree. The general idea behind this is that every chip can have gpios that shall be accessible in a very generic way by any driver through the devicetree. The chip that implements the chip-specific gpio operations has to assign them to the generic device operations struct, which then gets assigned to the gpio device during device probing. See CB:48583 for how this gets done for the SoCs using intelblocks/gpio. The gpio device then can be added to the devicetree with an alias name like in the following example: chip soc/whateverlake device gpio 0 alias soc_gpio on end ... end Any driver that requires access to this gpio device needs to have a device pointer (or multiple) and an option for specifying the gpio to be used in its chip config like this: struct drivers_ipmi_config { ... DEVTREE_CONST struct device *gpio_dev; u16 post_complete_gpio; ... }; The device `soc_gpio` can then be linked to the chip driver's `gpio_dev` above by using the syntax `use ... as ...`, which was introduced in commit 8e1ea52: chip drivers/ipmi use soc_gpio as gpio_dev register "bmc_jumper_gpio" = "GPP_D22" ... end The IPMI driver can then use the generic gpio operations without any knowlege of the chip's specifics: unsigned int gpio_val; const struct gpio_operations *gpio_ops; gpio_ops = dev_get_gpio_ops(conf->gpio_dev); gpio_val = gpio_ops->get(conf->bmc_jumper_gpio); For a full example have a look at CB:48096 and CB:48095. This change adds the new device type to sconfig and adds generic gpio operations to the `device_operations` struct. Also, a helper for getting the gpio operations from a device after checking them for NULL pointers gets added. Successfully tested on Supermicro X11SSM-F with CB:48097, X11SSH-TF with CB:48711 and OCP DeltaLake with CB:48672.
