Merge tag 'gpio-v3.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO update from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.17 development cycle, and
this time we got a lot of action going on and it will continue:
- The core GPIO library implementation has been split up in three
different files:
- gpiolib.c for the latest and greatest and shiny GPIO library code
using GPIO descriptors only
- gpiolib-legacy.c for the old integer number space API that we are
phasing out gradually
- gpiolib-sysfs.c for the sysfs interface that we are not entirely
happy with, but has to live on for ABI compatibility
- Add a flags argument to *gpiod_get* functions, with some
backward-compatibility macros to ease transitions. We should have
had the flags there from the beginning it seems, now we need to
clean up the mess. There is a plan on how to move forward here
devised by Alexandre Courbot and Mark Brown
- Split off a special <linux/gpio/machine.h> header for the board
gpio table registration, as per example from the regulator
subsystem
- Start to kill off the return value from gpiochip_remove() by
removing the __must_check attribute and removing all checks inside
the drivers/gpio directory. The rationale is: well what were we
supposed to do if there is an error code? Not much: print an error
message. And gpiolib already does that. So make this function
return void eventually
- Some cleanups of hairy gpiolib code, make some functions not to be
used outside the library private and make sure they are not
exported, remove gpiod_lock/unlock_as_irq() as the existing
function is for driver-internal use and fine as it is, delete
gpio_ensure_requested() as it is not meaningful anymore
- Support the GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW flag from gpio_request_one() function
calls, which is logical since this is already supported when
referencing GPIOs from e.g. device trees
- Switch STMPE, intel-mid, lynxpoint and ACPI (!) to use the gpiolib
irqchip helpers cutting down on GPIO irqchip boilerplate a bit more
- New driver for the Zynq GPIO block
- The usual incremental improvements around a bunch of drivers
- Janitorial syntactic and semantic cleanups by Jingoo Han, and
Rickard Strandqvist especially"
