PRERELEASE EXPERIMENTAL MODULE / SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT WARNING / LIKELY TO CONTAIN BUGS

Wrapper for gpio use on Linux. It uses the new kernel interface directly, and thus requires a Linux kernel version newer than 4.9. It also requires a Linux kernel newer than 4.9 (apt upgrade your raspian install if you don't already have that).

Note that the kernel documentation is very clear: do NOT use this for anything you plan to distribute to others. It is really just for tinkering, not production. And if the kernel people say that, I say it like 1000x more.

Detailed Description

This is a PRERELEASE EXPERIMENTAL MODULE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT WARNING. It is LIKELY TO CONTAIN BUGS!

GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_BIAS_PULL_UP and friends were added to the kernel in early 2020, so bleeding edge feature that is unlikely to work if you aren't that new too. My rpis do NOT support it. (the python library sets similar values tho by poking memory registers. I'm not gonna do that here, you can also solve it with electric circuit design (6k-ish ohm pull up and/or pull down resistor) or just knowing your own setup... so meh.)
