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"
