Merge tag 'gpio-v4.15-1' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
Core:
- Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No inversion
semantics as before, but also no open draining, and allow the raw
operations to affect lines used for interrupts as the caller
supposedly knows what they are doing if they are getting the big
hammer.
- Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that make
more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.
- Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all IRQs are
mapped dynamically. This is nice.
- Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This allows us
to read several GPIO lines with a single register read. This has
high value for some usecases: it can be used to create
oscilloscopes and signal analyzers and other things that rely on
reading several lines at exactly the same instant. Also a generally
nice optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from the
bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and is implemented for
two drivers, one of them being the generic MMIO driver so everyone
using that will be able to benefit from this.
- Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source setting of a
GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware actually supports
enabling both at the same time the electrical result would be
disastrous.
- A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful to deal with
"banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers with several logical
blocks of GPIO inside them. This is several gpiochips per device in
the device model, in contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1
relationship between a device and a gpiochip.
New drivers:
- Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting piece of
professional I/O hardware.
- Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the recent
Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform.
- Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO
infrastructure.
Other improvements:
- Some documentation improvements.
- Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
- Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
- Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the Broadcom
BRCMSTB driver.
- Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal of dead
code etc.
- Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements"
