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" * tag 'gpio-v3.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (37 commits) MAINTAINERS: update GPIO include files gpio: add missing includes in machine.h gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions MAINTAINERS: Update Samsung pin control entry gpio / ACPI: Move event handling registration to gpiolib irqchip helpers gpio: lynxpoint: Convert to use gpiolib irqchip gpio: split gpiod board registration into machine header gpio: remove gpio_ensure_requested() gpio: remove useless check in gpiolib_sysfs_init() gpiolib: Export gpiochip_request_own_desc and gpiochip_free_own_desc gpio: move gpio_ensure_requested() into legacy C file gpio: remove gpiod_lock/unlock_as_irq() gpio: make gpiochip_get_desc() gpiolib-private gpio: simplify gpiochip_export() gpio: remove export of private of_get_named_gpio_flags() gpio: Add support for GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW to gpio_request_one functions gpio: zynq: Clear pending interrupt when enabling a IRQ gpio: drop retval check enforcing from gpiochip_remove() gpio: remove all usage of gpio_remove retval in driver/gpio devicetree: Add Zynq GPIO devicetree bindings documentation ...
