Core changes: - Root out the wrapper devm_gpiod_get() and gpiod_get() etc versions of the descriptor calls that did not use the flags argument on the end. This was around for too long and eventually Uwe Kleine-König took the time to clean it out and the last users are removed along with the macros in this tag. In several cases the use of flags simplifies the code. For this reason we have (ACKed) patches hitting in DRM, IIO, media, NFC, USB+PHY up until we hammer in the nail with removing the macros. - Add a fat document describing how much ready-made GPIO stuff we have i the kernel to discourage people from reinventing a square wheel in userspace, as so often happens. - Create a separate lockdep class for each instance of a GPIO IRQ chip instead of using one class for all chips, as the current code will not work with systems with several GPIO chips doing lockdep debugging. - Protect against driver unloading also when a GPIO line is only used as IRQ for the GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP helpers. - If the GPIO chip has no designated owner, assign the parent device driver owner as owner. - Consolidation of chained IRQ handler install/remove replacing all call sites where irq_set_handler_data() and irq_set_chained_handler() were done in succession with a combined call to irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(). This series was created by Thomas Gleixner after the problem was observed by Russell King. - Tglx also made another series of patches switching __irq_set_handler_locked() for irq_set_handler_locked() which is way cleaner. - Tglx and Jiang Liu wrote a good bunch of patches to make use of irq_desc_get_xxx() accessors and avoid looking up irq_descs from IRQ numbers. The goal is to get rid of the irq number from the handlers in the IRQ flow which is nice. - Rob Herring killed off the set_irq_flags() for all GPIO drivers. This was an ARM specific function that is replaced with the generic irq_modify_status() where special flags are actually needed. - When an OF node has a pin range for its GPIOs, return -EPROBE_DEFER if the pin controller isn't available. Pretty logical, yet needed to be fixed. - If a driver using GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP has its own irq_*_resources call back, then call these instead of the defaults provided by the GPIOLIB. - Fix an undocumented ABI hole: named GPIOs were not properly documented. Driver improvements: - Add get_direction() support to the generic GPIO driver, it's strange that we didn't have that before. - Make it possible to have input-only GPIO chips using the generic GPIO driver. - Clean out platform data support from the Emma Mobile (EM) driver - Finegrained runtime PM support for the RCAR driver. - Support r8a7795 (R-car H3) in the RCAR driver. - Support interrupts on GPIOs 16 thru 31 in the DaVinci driver. - Some consolidation and new support in the MPC8xxx driver, we now support MPC5125. - Preempt-RT-friendly patches: the OMAP, MPC8xxx, drivers uses raw spinlocks making it work better with the realime patches. - Interrupt support for the EXTRAXFS GPIO driver. - Make the ETRAXFS GPIO driver support also ARTPEC-3. - Interrupt and wakeup support for the BRCMSTB driver, also for wakeup from S5 cold boot. - Mask MXC IRQs during suspend. - Improve OMAP2 GPIO set_debounce() to work according to spec. - The VF610 driver handles IRQs properly. New drivers: - ZTE ZX GPIO driver. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAABAgAGBQJV52lvAAoJEEEQszewGV1zOVcP/2ZgkfRgl119LZnWShfrEJWq UXaNzSaPNgvDzvGaqqi62SZQuhrdIWRKfMPtAuMGbEn5aJx0JC5UAOYjjfkKBqpO toqc1w2DScc0JTorY8qgczIBDO1A3ZBAcIvXXpOduy/JaKPoQteRN8WYTynPw48/ 0+97ZODwhyOkfeqmvUClkc9gW4XT68dudb0Lv1nQjsZmd1dHF2PZlwH3aL9sV68j GJAqf09xNqZaWWQBhs+J3ptsYjaJfYjo9NOOUf0Y/UgqXO3vB+2S4EmRATaRHS2F aHdj03sNZCNSDEa35WwetbLRGxPzSWmfxmBzQQ1baGdcJICn7Yv58EklPKRvwtMo ZpUsgiOV4OUIEClPJohs4xbl2HRsOYB3VbcihkXjVAxS6i2/jgA3Tn8ATvUSZ8wq TX8D6BfciigRCkT2G+B0TQBmcX1IQsMd1DBUNfw7Dk1TK/vxH4UYWbke422RjKGz ORJ+0DfShMCdYjrCVlt7UbFcqE3L5CnrztLQ3oFt0om2JsSWztV9V579G+Dqo9CI fE4G3xlsF33UCvXcmnOp6PuU+ZYBodLggkmK4REy2D3LCOnkcKq0U8Fj5RssApZ9 FdqVYck555ZpcBiN8ihB97WsmU+0XhBjblCbgzr6GxUw8EJ4x8H9nlraA6bluFoP 9c2qgPxjCq/VWA/F0YOU =iQ2P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'gpio-v4.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.3 kernel cycle.

This directory attempts to document the ABI between the Linux kernel and userspace, and the relative stability of these interfaces. Due to the everchanging nature of Linux, and the differing maturity levels, these interfaces should be used by userspace programs in different ways. We have four different levels of ABI stability, as shown by the four different subdirectories in this location. Interfaces may change levels of stability according to the rules described below. The different levels of stability are: stable/ This directory documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable. Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years. Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be available. testing/ This directory documents interfaces that are felt to be stable, as the main development of this interface has been completed. The interface can be changed to add new features, but the current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave errors or security problems are found in them. Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to be marked stable. Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel developers can easily notify them if any changes occur (see the description of the layout of the files below for details on how to do this.) obsolete/ This directory documents interfaces that are still remaining in the kernel, but are marked to be removed at some later point in time. The description of the interface will document the reason why it is obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed. removed/ This directory contains a list of the old interfaces that have been removed from the kernel. Every file in these directories will contain the following information: What: Short description of the interface Date: Date created KernelVersion: Kernel version this feature first showed up in. Contact: Primary contact for this interface (may be a mailing list) Description: Long description of the interface and how to use it. Users: All users of this interface who wish to be notified when it changes. This is very important for interfaces in the "testing" stage, so that kernel developers can work with userspace developers to ensure that things do not break in ways that are unacceptable. It is also important to get feedback for these interfaces to make sure they are working in a proper way and do not need to be changed further. How things move between levels: Interfaces in stable may move to obsolete, as long as the proper notification is given. Interfaces may be removed from obsolete and the kernel as long as the documented amount of time has gone by. Interfaces in the testing state can move to the stable state when the developers feel they are finished. They cannot be removed from the kernel tree without going through the obsolete state first. It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they wish for it to start out in. Notable bits of non-ABI, which should not under any circumstances be considered stable: - Kconfig. Userspace should not rely on the presence or absence of any particular Kconfig symbol, in /proc/config.gz, in the copy of .config commonly installed to /boot, or in any invocation of the kernel build process. - Kernel-internal symbols. Do not rely on the presence, absence, location, or type of any kernel symbol, either in System.map files or the kernel binary itself. See Documentation/stable_api_nonsense.txt.
