+Description:
+		The character device files /dev/gpiochip* are the interface
+		between GPIO chips and userspace.

+		[include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h>.
+
+		The following file operations are supported:
+
+		open(2)
+		  Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
+
+		ioctl(2)
+		  Initiate various actions.
+
+		  See the inline documentation in [include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h>
+		  for descriptions of all ioctls.
+
+		close(2)
+		  Stops and free up the I/O contexts that was associated
+		  with the file descriptor.
