Merge tag 'gpio-updates-for-v5.13-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux
Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
- new driver for the Realtek Otto GPIO controller
- ACPI support for gpio-mpc8xxx
- edge event support for gpio-sch (+ Kconfig fixes)
- Kconfig improvements in gpio-ich
- fixes to older issues in gpio-mockup
- ACPI quirk for ignoring EC wakeups on Dell Venue 10 Pro 5055
- improve the GPIO aggregator code by using more generic interfaces
instead of reimplementing them in the driver
- convert the DT bindings for gpio-74x164 to yaml
- documentation improvements
- a slew of other minor fixes and improvements to GPIO drivers
