Merge tag 'gpio-v4.7-1' 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 kernel cycle v4.7:
Core infrastructural changes:
- Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages.
This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we
did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to
get high impedance.
This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just
wrote.
- Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible
ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another
evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was
unmaintained.
Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs ACKed
the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request.
- Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for
storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and
a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input,
serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.
- The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO
lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is
implemented - whether the line is input or output. This also
reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".
- It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from
the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for a while).
I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days.
This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g.
GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.
New drivers:
- New driver for the Loongson1.
- The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.
- The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.
- The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.
Driver improvements:
- MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now
also suppors level-triggered interrupts.
- 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback
- AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.
- TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some
cases open source.
- Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers like
PL061, Xgene.
Cleanups:
- Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized those
who are not really modules.
- Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where they
belong.
- Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
point. That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less"
