Merge tag 'regmap-v4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap
Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown: "This has been a very busy release for regmap, not just in cleaning up the mess we got ourselves into with the endianness handling but also in other areas too: - Fixes for the endianness handling so that we now explicitly default to little endian (the code used to do this by accident). This fixes handling of explictly specified endianness on big endian systems. - Optimisation of the implementation of register striding. - A refectoring of the _update_bits() code to reduce duplication. - Fixes and enhancements for the interrupt implementation which make it easier to use in a wider range of systems" * tag 'regmap-v4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: (28 commits) regmap: irq: add devm apis for regmap_{add,del}_irq_chip regmap: replace regmap_write_bits() regmap: irq: Enable irq retriggering for nested irqs regmap: add regmap_fields_force_xxx() macros regmap: add regmap_field_force_xxx() macros regmap: merge regmap_fields_update_bits() into macro regmap: merge regmap_fields_write() into macro regmap: add regmap_fields_update_bits_base() regmap: merge regmap_field_update_bits() into macro regmap: merge regmap_field_write() into macro regmap: add regmap_field_update_bits_base() regmap: merge regmap_update_bits_check_async() into macro regmap: merge regmap_update_bits_check() into macro regmap: merge regmap_update_bits_async() into macro regmap: merge regmap_update_bits() into macro regmap: add regmap_update_bits_base() regcache: flat: Introduce register strider order regcache: Introduce the index parsing API by stride order regmap: core: Introduce register stride order regmap: irq: add devm apis for regmap_{add,del}_irq_chip ...

---------------------------------------------------
1 BE 'big-endian'
2 LE 'little-endian'
+3 Native 'native-endian'
For one device driver, which will run in different scenarios above
on different SoCs using the devicetree, we need one way to simplify
this.
-Required properties:
-- {big,little}-endian: these are boolean properties, if absent
- meaning that the CPU and the Device are in the same endianness mode,
- these properties are for register values and all the buffers only.
+Optional properties:
+- {big,little,native}-endian: these are boolean properties, if absent
+ then the implementation will choose a default based on the device
+ being controlled. These properties are for register values and all
+ the buffers only. Native endian means that the CPU and device have
+ the same endianness.
Examples:
Scenario 1 : CPU in LE mode & device in LE mode.
