Hi Dmitry,
This patchset is another attempt at supporting rotary encoders
with stable state on each output states. Previous efforts to
support this has been done by Sascha Hauer [1] and myself [2].
After some discussion we agreed to remove the current ad-hoc
bindings for each of the rotary-encoders types, and instead
introduce "one binding to rule them all".
This patchset introduces a new 'steps-per-period' property.
Such a property can be used to model the three types
of rotary-encoders.
>From the GPIO output diagram, we can see where these types
come from, and how the steps-per-period describes each
of them.

one step, steps-per-period = 4
The 'half-period' property is marked as deprecated and a
warning message is issued if it's used, although the driver
retains its old behavior.
I'm also submitting Ben Gamari's cleanup, with the commit log
slightly ammended.
Feedback welcome!
