Merge tag 'gpio-v3.18-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO changes from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.18 development cycle:
- Increase the default ARCH_NR_GPIO from 256 to 512. This was done
to avoid having a custom <asm/gpio.h> header for the x86
architecture - GPIO is custom and complicated enough as it is
already! We want to move to a radix to store the descriptors going
forward, and finally get rid of this fixed array size altogether.
- Endgame patching of the gpio_remove() semantics initiated by
Abdoulaye Berthe. It is not accepted by the system that the
removal of a GPIO chip fails during eg reboot or shutdown, and
therefore the return value has now painfully been refactored away.
For special cases like GPIO expanders on a hot-pluggable bus like
USB, we may later add some gpiochip_try_remove() call, but for the
cases we have now, return values are moot.
- Some incremental refactoring of the gpiolib core and ACPI GPIO
library for more descriptor usage.
- Refactor the chained IRQ handler set-up method to handle also
threaded, nested interrupts and set up the parent IRQ correctly.
Switch STMPE and TC3589x drivers to use this registration method.
- Add a .irq_not_threaded flag to the struct gpio_chip, so that also
GPIO expanders that block but are still not using threaded IRQ
handlers.
- New drivers for the ARM64 X-Gene SoC GPIO controller.
- The syscon GPIO driver has been improved to handle the "DSP GPIO"
found on the TI Keystone 2 SoC:s.
- ADNP driver switched to use gpiolib irqchip helpers.
- Refactor the DWAPB driver to support being instantiated from and
MFD cell (platform device).
- Incremental feature improvement in the Zynq, MCP23S08, DWAPB, OMAP,
Xilinx and Crystalcove drivers.
- Various minor fixes"
