Merge tag 'gpio-v3.14-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO tree bulk changes from Linus Walleij: "A big set this merge window, as we have much going on in this subsystem. The changes to other subsystems (notably a slew of ARM machines as I am doing away with their custom APIs) have all been ACKed to the extent possible. Major changes this time: - Some core improvements and cleanups to the new GPIO descriptor API. This seems to be working now so we can start the exodus to this API, moving gradually away from the global GPIO numberspace. - Incremental improvements to the ACPI GPIO core, and move the few GPIO ACPI clients we have to the GPIO descriptor API right *now* before we go any further. We actually managed to contain this *before* we started to litter the kernel with yet another hackish global numberspace for the ACPI GPIOs, which is a big win. - The RFkill GPIO driver and all platforms using it have been migrated to use the GPIO descriptors rather than fixed number assignments. Tegra machine has been migrated as part of this. - New drivers for MOXA ART, Xtensa GPIO32 and SMSC SCH311x. Those should be really good examples of how I expect a nice GPIO driver to look these days. - Do away with custom GPIO implementations on a major part of the ARM machines: ks8695, lpc32xx, mv78xx0. Make a first step towards the same in the horribly convoluted Samsung S3C include forest. We expect to continue to clean this up as we move forward. - Flag GPIO lines used for IRQ on adnp, bcm-kona, em, intel-mid and lynxpoint. This makes the GPIOlib core aware that a certain GPIO line is used for IRQs and can then enforce some semantics such as disallowing a GPIO line marked as in use for IRQ to be switched to output mode. - Drop all use of irq_set_chip_and_handler_name(). The name provided in these cases were just unhelpful tags like "mux" or "demux". - Extend the MCP23s08 driver to handle interrupts. - Minor incremental improvements for rcar, lynxpoint, em 74x164 and msm drivers. - Some non-urgent bug fixes here and there, duplicate #includes and that usual kind of cleanups" Fix up broken Kconfig file manually to make this all compile. * tag 'gpio-v3.14-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (71 commits) gpio: mcp23s08: fix casting caused build warning gpio: mcp23s08: depend on OF_GPIO gpio: mcp23s08: Add irq functionality for i2c chips ARM: S5P[v210|c100|64x0]: Fix build error gpio: pxa: clamp gpio get value to [0,1] ARM: s3c24xx: explicit dependency on <plat/gpio-cfg.h> ARM: S3C[24|64]xx: move includes back under <mach/> scope Documentation / ACPI: update to GPIO descriptor API gpio / ACPI: get rid of acpi_gpio.h gpio / ACPI: register to ACPI events automatically mmc: sdhci-acpi: convert to use GPIO descriptor API ARM: s3c24xx: fix build error gpio: f7188x: set can_sleep attribute gpio: samsung: Update documentation gpio: samsung: Remove hardware.h inclusion gpio: xtensa: depend on HAVE_XTENSA_GPIO32 gpio: clps711x: Enable driver compilation with COMPILE_TEST gpio: clps711x: Use of_match_ptr() net: rfkill: gpio: convert to descriptor-based GPIO interface leds: s3c24xx: Fix build failure ...
