 * @brief       Implementation of GPIO access from Linux User Space
 *
 * This module allows to connect a RIOT application that runs on a Linux host to
 * the physical GPIO pins of that host. To do so, the application has to be
 * compiled for the native board in a Linux environment.
 *
 * GPIO support is automatically included if either a module requiring the
 * `periph_gpio` feature is added to the application or if it is explicitly
 * listed as `FEATURES_REQUIRED` in the application's Makefile.
 *
 * At runtime, the process has to be connected to a specific GPIO bank on the host
 * machine. GPIO banks are exposed as `/dev/gpiochipN` character files, where N
 * is the bank ID to which several GPIO pins are connected.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * ```
 * $ ./riot_native_app --gpio=/dev/gpiochip0 --gpio=/dev/gpiochip1
 * ```
 *
 * This will add `/dev/gpiochip0` and `/dev/gpiochip1` as PORT(0) and PORT(1) in RIOT.
 * The first pin can be used with PIN(0,0) as `gpio_t`, the second one on the first
 * port would be PIN(0,1) and so on.
 *
 * Please refer to your board's documentation for the mapping of the pins.
