Linus Torvalds b630a23a73 This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.15
kernel cycle:
 
 Core:
 
 - The pin control Kconfig entry PINCTRL is now turned into
   a menuconfig option. This obviously has the implication of
   making the subsystem menu visible in menuconfig. This is
   happening because of two things:
 
   - Intel have started to deploy and depend on pin controllers
     in a way that is affecting users directly. This happens
     on the highly integrated laptop chipsets named after
     geographical places: baytrail, broxton, cannonlake,
     cedarfork, cherryview, denverton, geminilake, lewisburg,
     merrifield, sunrisepoint... It started a while back and
     now it is ever more evident that this is crucial
     infrastructure for x86 laptops and not an embedded
     obscurity anymore. Users need to be aware.
 
   - Pin control expanders on I2C and SPI that are
     arch-agnostic. Currently Semtech SX150X and Microchip
     MCP28x08 but more are expected. Users will have to be
     able to configure these in directly for their set-up.
 
 - Just go and select GPIOLIB now that we made sure that
   GPIOLIB is a very vanilla subsystem. Do not depend on
   it, if we need it, select it.
 
 - Exposing the pin control subsystem in menuconfig uncovered
   a bunch of obscure bugs that are now hopefully fixed,
   all more or less pertaining to Blackfin.
 
 - Unified namespace for cross-calls between pin control and
   GPIO.
 
 - New support for clock skew/delay generic DT bindings
   and generic pin config options for this.
 
 - Minor documentation improvements.
 
 Various:
 
 - The Renesas SH-PFC pin controller has evolved a lot. It seems
   Renesas are churning out new SoCs by the minute.
 
 - A bunch of non-critical fixes for the Rockchip driver.
 
 - Improve the use of library functions instead of open coding.
 
 - Support the MCP28018 variant in the MCP28x08 driver.
 
 - Static constifying.

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.
