Linus Torvalds 061ad5038c Bulk GPIO changes for the v4.10 kernel cycle:
Core changes:
 
 - Simplify threaded interrupt handling: instead of passing
   numbed parameters to gpiochip_irqchip_add_chained() we
   create a new call: gpiochip_irqchip_add_nested() so the two
   types are clearly semantically different. Also make sure
   that all nested chips call gpiochip_set_nested_irqchip()
   which is necessary for IRQ resend to work properly if
   it happens.
 
 - Return error on seek operations for the chardev.
 
 - Clamp values set as part of gpio[d]_direction_output() so
   that anything != 0 will be send down to the driver as "1"
   not the value passed in.
 
 - ACPI can now support naming of GPIO lines, hogs and holes
   in the GPIO lists.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - The SX150x driver was deemed unfit for the GPIO subsystem
   and was moved over to a combined GPIO+pinctrl driver in the
   pinctrl subsystem.
 
 New features:
 
 - Various cleanups to various drivers.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
