Merge tag 'gpio-v4.17-1' of git://git.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 v4.17 kernel cycle: New drivers: - Nintendo Wii GameCube GPIO, known as "Hollywood" - Raspberry Pi mailbox service GPIO expander - Spreadtrum main SC9860 SoC and IEC GPIO controllers. Improvements: - Implemented .get_multiple() callback for most of the high-performance industrial GPIO cards for the ISA bus. - ISA GPIO drivers now select the ISA_BUS_API instead of depending on it. This is merged with the same pattern for all the ISA drivers and some other Kconfig cleanups related to this. Cleanup: - Delete the TZ1090 GPIO drivers following the deletion of this SoC from the ARM tree. - Move the documentation over to driver-api to conform with the rest of the kernel documentation build. - Continue to make the GPIO drivers include only <linux/gpio/driver.h> and not the too broad <linux/gpio.h> that we want to get rid of. - Managed to remove VLA allocation from two drivers pending more fixes in this area for the next merge window. - Misc janitorial fixes" * tag 'gpio-v4.17-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (77 commits) gpio: Add Spreadtrum PMIC EIC driver support gpio: Add Spreadtrum EIC driver support dt-bindings: gpio: Add Spreadtrum EIC controller documentation gpio: ath79: Fix potential NULL dereference in ath79_gpio_probe() pinctrl: qcom: Don't allow protected pins to be requested gpiolib: Support 'gpio-reserved-ranges' property gpiolib: Change bitmap allocation to kmalloc_array gpiolib: Extract mask allocation into subroutine dt-bindings: gpio: Add a gpio-reserved-ranges property gpio: mockup: fix a potential crash when creating debugfs entries gpio: pca953x: add compatibility for pcal6524 and pcal9555a gpio: dwapb: Add support for a bus clock gpio: Remove VLA from xra1403 driver gpio: Remove VLA from MAX3191X driver gpio: ws16c48: Implement get_multiple callback gpio: gpio-mm: Implement get_multiple callback gpio: 104-idi-48: Implement get_multiple callback gpio: 104-dio-48e: Implement get_multiple callback gpio: pcie-idio-24: Implement get_multiple/set_multiple callbacks gpio: pci-idio-16: Implement get_multiple callback ...

+Spreadtrum EIC controller bindings
+
+The EIC is the abbreviation of external interrupt controller, which can
+be used only in input mode. The Spreadtrum platform has 2 EIC controllers,
+one is in digital chip, and another one is in PMIC. The digital chip EIC
+controller contains 4 sub-modules: EIC-debounce, EIC-latch, EIC-async and
+EIC-sync. But the PMIC EIC controller contains only one EIC-debounce sub-
+module.
+
+The EIC-debounce sub-module provides up to 8 source input signal
+connections. A debounce mechanism is used to capture the input signals'
+stable status (millisecond resolution) and a single-trigger mechanism
+is introduced into this sub-module to enhance the input event detection
+reliability. In addition, this sub-module's clock can be shut off
+automatically to reduce power dissipation. Moreover the debounce range
+is from 1ms to 4s with a step size of 1ms. The input signal will be
+ignored if it is asserted for less than 1 ms.
+
+The EIC-latch sub-module is used to latch some special power down signals
+and generate interrupts, since the EIC-latch does not depend on the APB
+clock to capture signals.
+
+The EIC-async sub-module uses a 32kHz clock to capture the short signals
+(microsecond resolution) to generate interrupts by level or edge trigger.
+
+The EIC-sync is similar with GPIO's input function, which is a synchronized
+signal input register. It can generate interrupts by level or edge trigger
+when detecting input signals.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Should be one of the following:
+ "sprd,sc9860-eic-debounce",
+ "sprd,sc9860-eic-latch",
+ "sprd,sc9860-eic-async",
+ "sprd,sc9860-eic-sync",
+ "sprd,sc27xx-eic".
+- reg: Define the base and range of the I/O address space containing
+ the GPIO controller registers.
+- gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+- #gpio-cells: Should be <2>. The first cell is the gpio number and
+ the second cell is used to specify optional parameters.
+- interrupt-controller: Marks the device node as an interrupt controller.
+- #interrupt-cells: Should be <2>. Specifies the number of cells needed
+ to encode interrupt source.
+- interrupts: Should be the port interrupt shared by all the gpios.
+
+Example:
+ eic_debounce: gpio@40210000 {
+ compatible = "sprd,sc9860-eic-debounce";
+ reg = <0 0x40210000 0 0x80>;
