Several things have been reworked in GPIO core: we unduplicated GPIO hog handling, reduced the number of SRCU locks and dereferences, improved support for software-node-based lookup and removed more legacy code after converting remaining users to modern alternatives. There's also a number of driver reworks and refactoring, documentation updates, some bug-fixes and new tests. GPIO core: - defer probe on software node lookups when the remote software node exists but has not been registered as a firmware node yet - unify GPIO hog handling by moving code duplicated in OF and ACPI modules into GPIO core and allow setting up hogs with software nodes - allow matching GPIO controllers by secondary firmware node if matching by primary does not succeed - demote deferral warnings to debug level as they are quite normal when using software nodes which don't support fw_devlink yet - disable the legacy GPIO character device uAPI v1 supprt in Kconfig by default - rework several core functions in preparation for the upcoming Revocable helper library for protecting resources against sudden removal, this reduces the number of SRCU dereferences in GPIO core - simplify file descriptor logic in GPIO character device code by using FD_PREPARE() - introduce a header defining symbols used by both GPIO consumers and providers to avoid having to include provider-specific headers from drivers which only consume GPIOs - replace snprintf() with strscpy() where formatting is not required New drivers: - add the gpio-by-pinctrl generic driver using the ARM SCMI protocol to control GPIOs (along with SCMI changes pulled from the pinctrl tree) - add a driver providing support for handling of platform events via GPIO-signalled ACPI events (used on Intel Nova Lake and later platforms) Driver changes: - extend the gpio-kempld driver with support for more recent models, interrupts and setting/getting multiple values at once - improve interrupt handling in gpio-brcmstb - add support for multi-SoC systems in gpio-tegra186 - make sure we return correct values from the .get() callbacks in several GPIO drivers by normalizing any values other than 0, 1 or negative error numbers - use flexible arrays in several drivers to reduce the number of required memory allocations - simplify synchronous waiting for virtual drivers to probe and remove the dedicated, a bit overengineered helper library dev-sync-probe - remove unneeded Kconfig dependencies on OF_GPIO in several drivers and subsystems - convert the two remaining users of of_get_named_gpio() to using GPIO descriptors and remove the (no longer used) function along with the header that declares it - add missing includes in gpio-mmio - shrink and simplify code in gpio-max732x by using guard(mutex) - remove duplicated code handling the 'ngpios' property from gpio-ts4800, it's already handled in GPIO core - use correct variable type in gpio-aspeed - add support for a new model in gpio-realtek-otto - allow to specify the active-low setting of simulated hogs over the configfs interface (in addition to existing devicetree support) in gpio-sim Bug fixes: - clear the OF_POPULATED flag on hog nodes in GPIO chip remove path on OF systems - fix resource leaks in error path in gpiochip_add_data_with_key() - drop redundant device reference in gpio-mpsse Tests: - add selftests for use-after-free cases in GPIO character device code DT bindings: - add a DT binding document for SCMI based, gpio-over-pinctrl devices - fix interrupt description in microchip,mpfs-gpio -

This is an abuse of the software node API and makes it impossible to create fw_devlinks between GPIO suppliers and consumers in this case. We want to remove this behavior from GPIOLIB and to this end, work on converting all existing drivers to using "attached" software nodes. Except for a few corner-cases where board files define consumers depending on GPIO controllers described in firmware - where we need to reference a real firmware node from a software node - which requires a more complex approach, most board files can easily be converted to using propert firmware node lookup. Update the documentation to recommend attaching the GPIO chip's software nodes to the actual platform devices and show how to do it.

The driver previously used vm_iomap_memory(), so this change replaces it with its mmap_prepare equivalent, mmap_action_simple_ioremap(). Functions that wrap mmap() are also converted to wrap mmap_prepare() instead. Also update the documentation accordingly.
