This change allows the GPIO core to read/change multiple pins in a single driver call and subsequent I2C transfer. It helps a lot with PCF857x devices, since their I2C protocol always reads/changes all existing pins anyway. Therefore, when the GPIO client code does a bulk operation on multiple pins, the driver makes a single I2C transfer.

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.
