Changes in v8:
  - Return unsigned long for bitmap_get_value8 for consistency
  - Add clobbering risk warning to bitmap_set_value8 documentation
  - Reimplement bitmap_get_value8 and bitmap_set_value8 to account for
    clumps that fall across bitmap word boundaries
  - Add a bitmap size argument to the bitmap_get_value8 and
    bitmap_set_value8 functions

While adding GPIO get_multiple/set_multiple callback support for various
drivers, I noticed a pattern of looping manifesting that would be useful
standardized as a macro.

This patchset introduces the for_each_set_clump8 macro and utilizes it
in several GPIO drivers. The for_each_set_clump macro8 facilitates a
for-loop syntax that iterates over a memory region entire groups of set
bits at a time.

For example, suppose you would like to iterate over a 32-bit integer 8
bits at a time, skipping over 8-bit groups with no set bit, where
XXXXXXXX represents the current 8-bit group:

    Example:        10111110 00000000 11111111 00110011
    First loop:     10111110 00000000 11111111 XXXXXXXX
    Second loop:    10111110 00000000 XXXXXXXX 00110011
    Third loop:     XXXXXXXX 00000000 11111111 00110011

Each iteration of the loop returns the next 8-bit group that has at
least one set bit.

The for_each_set_clump8 macro has four parameters:

    * start: set to the bit offset of the current clump
    * clump: set to the current clump value
    * bits: bitmap to search within
    * size: bitmap size in number of bits

In this version of the patchset, the for_each_set_clump macro has been
reimplemented and simplified based on the suggestions provided by Rasmus
Villemoes and Andy Shevchenko in the version 4 submission.

In particular, the function of the for_each_set_clump macro has been
restricted to handle only 8-bit clumps; the drivers that use the
for_each_set_clump macro only handle 8-bit ports so a generic
for_each_set_clump implementation is not necessary. Thus, a solution for
large clumps (i.e. those larger than the width of a bitmap word) can be
postponed until a driver appears that actually requires such a generic
for_each_set_clump implementation.

For what it's worth, a semi-generic for_each_set_clump (i.e. for clumps
smaller than the width of a bitmap word) can be implemented by simply
replacing the hardcoded '8' and '0xFF' instances with respective
variables. I have not yet had a need for such an implementation, and
since it falls short of a true generic for_each_set_clump function, I
have decided to forgo such an implementation for now.

In addition, the bitmap_get_value8 and bitmap_set_value8 functions are
introduced to get and set 8-bit values respectively. Their use is based
on the behavior suggested in the patchset version 4 review.

Nice-looking code.

It's a shame that it doesn't actually dercease the kernel line count,
but there are other benefits.

The patches are missing the hoped-for acks, but I think you maintain
most/all of those drivers.

Do we have any expectation that these facilities will be used by
anything other than GPIO?  If not then perhaps they should be sited
within drivers/gpio (presumably as a standalone module) until such a
need is found?

He does, but FWIW:

I can move it within drivers/gpio since my only use at moment is for
these gpio drivers I maintain. However, moving it to the gpio subsystem
does make it less likely to be seen by authors in other subsystems who
may have use for it -- so there is the chance that this becomes isolated
and untilized only amonst the gpio drivers. That may not be such a bad
thing in the end; I suspect it will be easy to spot if other subsystems
start implementing their own for_each_set_clump (if other subsystems
would even have such a need for it).

Linus, if I move the for_each_set_clump macro and related functions to
drivers/gpio, should I move the code into the gpiolib.h and gpiolib.c
files? Or would it be best to implement this as a separate standalone
module, and make a Kconfig dependency for those gpio drivers which
require it? A standalone module feels somewhat overkill for such little
code in my opinion.

I would sure prefer to have these in the generic core where this patch
puts them. I don't see the problem with that. We have to start generic
code from some point.

Yeah. I was however thinking about that we should create a helper
library for port-mapped IO along the lines of gpio-mmio.c so we might
as well get started with that in that case, just call it gpio-port-mapped-io.c
and put these in first or something.

I'm okay with the code as well, so,

I think I have an example out of GPIO realm. But I need time to prove that.
In any case I tend to bend to the generic exposure than to local one.
