+Description:
+ The character device files /dev/gpiochip* are the interface
+ between GPIO chips and userspace.
+
+ The ioctl(2)-based ABI is defined in
+ [include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h> and documented in
+ Documentation/userspace-api/gpio/chardev.rst.
+
+ The following file operations are supported:
+
+ open(2)
+ Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
+
+ ioctl(2)
+ Initiate various actions.
+
+ See Documentation/userspace-api/gpio/chardev.rst
+ for a description of all ioctls.
+
+ close(2)
+ Stops and free up the I/O contexts that was associated
+ with the file descriptor.
