gpio: update gpiochip .get() callback description
Since gpiochip .get() callback may return a negative error value, it strictly limits the range of possible non-error returned values to a subset of [30:0] bitmask, however on practice on success all gpiochip drivers return either 0 for low signal or 1 for high signal, this is assured by "gpio: *: Be sure to clamp return value" series of changes. To avoid any confusion, misinterpretation and potential errors while developing gpiochip drivers in future convert this implicit assumption to a mandatory rule. For output signals with unknown output signal state gpiochip drivers should return a negative error instead of 0.
