[PATCH 1/4] gpiolib: Introduce chip addition/removal notifier

[Anton Vorontsov]

Some platforms (e.g. OpenFirmware) want to know when a particular chip
added or removed, so that the platforms could add their specifics for
non-platform devices, like I2C or SPI GPIO chips.

This patch implements the notifier for chip addition and removal events.
