Merge tag 'gpio-updates-for-v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
 "We have a new GPIO multiplexer driver, bunch of driver updates and
  refactoring in the core GPIO library.

  GPIO core:
   - teach gpiolib to work with software nodes for HW description
   - remove ARCH_NR_GPIOS treewide as we no longer impose any limit on
     the number of GPIOS since the allocation became entirely dynamic
   - add support for HW quirks for Cirrus CS42L56 codec, Marvell NFC
     controller, Freescale PCIe and Ethernet controller, Himax LCDs and
     Mediatek mt2701
   - refactor OF quirk code
   - some general refactoring of the OF and ACPI code, adding new
     helpers, minor tweaks and fixes, making fwnode usage consistent
     etc.

  GPIO uAPI:
   - fix an issue where the user-space can trigger a NULL-pointer
     dereference in the kernel by opening a device file, forcing a
     driver unbind and then calling one of the syscalls on the
     associated file descriptor

  New drivers:
   - add gpio-latch: a new GPIO multiplexer based on latches connected
     to other GPIOs

  Driver updates:
   - convert i2c GPIO expanders to using .probe_new()
   - drop the gpio-sta2x11 driver
   - factor out common code for the ACCES IDIO-16 family of controllers
     and use this new library wherever applicable in drivers
   - add DT support to gpio-hisi
   - allow building gpio-davinci as a module and increase its maxItems
     property
   - add support for a new model to gpio-pca9570
   - other minor changes to various drivers"

 To force-enable this framework, a platform's Kconfig will "select" GPIOLIB,
 else it is up to the user to configure support for GPIO.
 
-It may also provide a custom value for ARCH_NR_GPIOS, so that it better
-reflects the number of GPIOs in actual use on that platform, without
-wasting static table space.  (It should count both built-in/SoC GPIOs and
-also ones on GPIO expanders.
-
 If neither of these options are selected, the platform does not support
 GPIOs through GPIO-lib and the code cannot be enabled by the user.
