gpiolib: introduce set_debounce method

A few architectures, like OMAP, allow you to set a debouncing time for the
gpio before generating the IRQ.  Teach gpiolib about that.

Mark said:
: This would be generally useful for embedded systems, especially where
: the interrupt concerned is a wake source.  It allows drivers to avoid
: spurious interrupts from noisy sources so if the hardware supports it
: the driver can avoid having to explicitly wait for the signal to become
: stable and software has to cope with fewer events.  We've lived without
: it for quite some time, though.

David said:
: I looked at adding debounce support to the generic GPIO calls (and thus
: gpiolib) some time back, but decided against it.  I forget why at this
: time (check list archives) but it wasn't because of lack of utility in
: certain contexts.
:
: One thing to watch out for is just how variable the hardware capabilities
: are.  Atmel GPIOs have something like a fixed number of 32K clock cycles
: for debounce, twl4030 had something odd, OMAPs were more like the Atmel
: chips but with a different clock.  In some cases debouncing had to be
: ganged, not per-GPIO.  And so forth.
