gpio: Introduce mraa_gpio_init_by_name API
This commit introduces mraa_gpio_init_by_name API for initializing a GPIO by its line name provided by the kernel. This feature depends on the GPIO chardev support and also the line names present in devicetree or board files. Accessing GPIO using its line name, removes the dependency from MRAA specific pin mapping and provides a cleaner way to access GPIOs. This will solve the issue created by an external gpiochip probing before the SoC's internal gpio controller and thereby making the MRAA pin mapping wrong. Currently, this API only supports initializing a single GPIO at a time. Signed-off-by: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@linaro.org>
