add support for 8-bit and I2C variants of the chip:
- MCP23008 / MCP23S08: 8-bit (I2C / SPI)
- MCP23017 / MCP23S17: 16-bit (I2C / SPI)
- MCP23018 / MCP23S18: 16-bit (I2C / SPI), open-drain outputs
The MCP23x17 and MCP23x18 are essentially identical, software-wise; we
merely report different GPIO pin capabilities (no push-pull output for
MCP23x18). Also, remove the tri-state capability that was previously
advertised by the old version of this driver; these chips have no way
to put the pin into a HI-Z mode.
All 3 I2C versions are supported, but the SPI front-end still only
supports the MCP23S17 for now (SPI autoconfiguration needs an overhaul).
mcp23s17gpio(4) remains present as a link to the new mcpgpio(4) man page.
XXX Still to-do: FDT integration, interrupt suppoort.

Driver module as illustrated here:
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13911
A SCMD module is a ARM SOC simular to a Arduino in front of a motor
driver chip. The single SCMD module can control two motors and up to
16 additional modules can be chained together using an internal I2C
bus. One can interface with the SCMD using tty uart commands, SPI or
I2C. The driver in this commit adds a kernel driver for the I2C and
SPI interfaces. The command line utility provides a set of
convenience commands that support most of the functions of the SCMD
and is able to use the tty uart mode, SPI user land or the included
kernel driver in a uniform manor.
The use of the SCMD module is mostly for small robots and the like,
but it can control anything that is controllable by voltage.

Needs more testing and an appropriate API for such (non-audio) DACs. For now
one can set the output value using sysctl node. Also sysmon(4) will conveniently
report the voltage on Vout pin of the DAC. Note that this is not an actual
measured voltage, but merely calculated using equation from datasheet. Real
voltage might be different and depend on analog circuitry attached to the DAC.

found on Meraki Mini (for example).

a sample driver for the TI TMP121 temperature sensor. This has been
moderately tested on Au1550, and it is not enabled in sys/conf (yet). So
the change is harmless at worst, and useful at best.
Alchemy Au1550 bus driver forthcoming, along with a driver for SPI flash
devices, such as found on the Meraki Mini
This development was partially funded by the Champaign-Urbana Community
Wireless Network Project.
Note that there are some MD-specific SPI drivers that could probably be
made MI under this new framework.
