A common pattern to implement object oriented code in the kernel is to use a separate structure to hold all the methods for a particular kind of object and just have a pointer to this table rather than a separate pointer for each method. The alternate approach is to directly embedded function pointers in the object but there are some advantages on using the former approach. This patch adds a struct gpio_chip_ops to be set by GPIO chip controllers.
