When a gpio_chip wants to request a descriptor from itself using gpiochip_request_own_desc() it needs to be able to specify fully how to use the descriptor, notably line inversion semantics. The workaround in the gpiolib.c can be removed and cases (such as SPI CS) where we need at times to request a GPIO with line inversion semantics directly on a chip for workarounds, can be fully supported with this call. Fix up some users of the API that weren't really using the last flag to set up the line as input or output properly but instead just calling direction setting explicitly after requesting the line.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
