 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.1 development cycle:

   - A new GPIO hogging mechanism has been added.  This can be used on
     boards that want to drive some GPIO line high, low, or set it as
     input on boot and then never touch it again.  For some embedded
     systems this is bliss and simplifies things to a great extent.

   - Some API cleanup and closure: gpiod_get_array() and
     gpiod_put_array() has been added to get and put GPIOs in bulk as
     was possible with the non-descriptor API.

   - Encapsulate cross-calls to the pin control subsystem in
     &lt;linux/gpio/driver.h&gt;.  Now this should be the only header any GPIO
     driver needs to include or something is wrong.  Cleanups
     restricting drivers to this include are welcomed if tested.

   - Sort the GPIO Kconfig and split it into submenus, as it was
     becoming and unstructured, illogical and unnavigatable mess.  I
     hope this is easier to follow.  Menus that require a certain
     subsystem like I2C can now be hidden nicely for example, still
     working on others.

   - New drivers:

       - New driver for the Altera Soft GPIO.

       - The F7188x driver now handles the F71869 and F71869A variants.

       - The MIPS Loongson driver has been moved to drivers/gpio for
         consolidation and cleanup.

   - Cleanups:

       - The MAX732x is converted to use the GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP
         infrastructure.

       - The PCF857x is converted to use the GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP
         infrastructure.

       - Radical cleanup of the OMAP driver.

   - Misc:

       - Enable the DWAPB GPIO for all architectures.  This is a "hard
         IP" block from Synopsys which has started to turn up in so
         diverse architectures as X86 Quark, ARC and a slew of ARM
         systems.  So even though it's not an expander, it's generic
         enough to be available for all.

       - We add a mock GPIO on Crystalcove PMIC after a long discussion
         with Daniel Vetter et al, tracing back to the shootout at the
         kernel summit where DRM drivers and sub-componentization was
         discussed.  In this case a mock GPIO is assumed to be the best
         compromise gaining some reuse of infrastructure without making
         DRM drivers overly complex at the same time.  Let's see"

<title>driver core / ACPI: Represent ACPI companions using fwnode_handle</title>

Now that we have struct fwnode_handle, we can use that to point to
ACPI companions from struct device objects instead of pointing to
struct acpi_device directly.

There are two benefits from that.  First, the somewhat ugly and
hackish struct acpi_dev_node can be dropped and, second, the same
struct fwnode_handle pointer can be used in the future to point
to other (non-ACPI) firmware device node types.

Based on Boris Brezillion's work this is a reworked patch
of his initial GPIO hogging mechanism.
This patch provides a way to initially configure specific GPIO
when the GPIO controller is probed.

The actual DT scanning to collect the GPIO specific data is performed
as part of gpiochip_add().

The purpose of this is to allow specific GPIOs to be configured
without any driver specific code.
This is particularly useful because board design are getting
increasingly complex and given SoC pins can now have more
than 10 mux values, a lot of connections are now dependent on
external IO muxes to switch various modes.

Specific drivers should not necessarily need to be aware of
what accounts to a specific board implementation. This board level
"description" should be best kept as part of the dts file.

<title>gpio / ACPI: Add support for _DSD device properties</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=0d9a693cc8619b28f0eeb689a554647d42848fde'/>
<id>0d9a693cc8619b28f0eeb689a554647d42848fde</id>
<content type='text'>
With release of ACPI 5.1 and _DSD method we can finally name GPIOs (and
other things as well) returned by _CRS. Previously we were only able to
use integer index to find the corresponding GPIO, which is pretty error
prone if the order changes.

With _DSD we can now query GPIOs using name instead of an integer index,
like the below example shows:

  // Bluetooth device with reset and shutdown GPIOs
  Device (BTH)
  {
      Name (_HID, ...)

      Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
      {
          GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly,
                  "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {15}
          GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly,
                  "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {27, 31}
      })

      Name (_DSD, Package ()
      {
          ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
          Package ()
	  {
              Package () {"reset-gpio", Package() {^BTH, 1, 1, 0 }},
              Package () {"shutdown-gpio", Package() {^BTH, 0, 0, 0 }},
          }
      })
  }

The format of the supported GPIO property is:

  Package () { "name", Package () { ref, index, pin, active_low }}

  ref - The device that has _CRS containing GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources,
        typically this is the device itself (BTH in our case).
  index - Index of the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero.
  pin - Pin in the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource. Typically this is zero.
  active_low - If 1 the GPIO is marked as active_low.

Since ACPI GpioIo() resource does not have field saying whether it is
active low or high, the "active_low" argument can be used here. Setting
it to 1 marks the GPIO as active low.

In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpio" refers to the second GpioIo()
resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31.

This patch implements necessary support to gpiolib for extracting GPIOs
using _DSD device properties.

it to 1 marks the GPIO as active low.

In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpio" refers to the second GpioIo()
resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31.

This patch implements necessary support to gpiolib for extracting GPIOs
using _DSD device properties.

<title>gpio / ACPI: Move event handling registration to gpiolib irqchip helpers</title>

Since now we have irqchip helpers that the GPIO chip drivers are supposed
to use if possible, we can move the registration of ACPI events to happen
in these helpers. This seems to be more natural place and might encourage
GPIO chip driver writers to take advantage of the irqchip helpers.

We make the functions available to GPIO chip drivers via private gpiolib.h,
just in case generic irqchip helpers are not suitable.

<title>gpiolib: Export gpiochip_request_own_desc and gpiochip_free_own_desc</title>

Both functions were introduced to let gpio drivers request their own
gpio pins. Without exporting the functions, this can however only be
used by gpio drivers built into the kernel.

Secondary impact is that the functions can not currently be used by
platform initialization code associated with the gpio-pca953x driver.
This code permits auto-export of gpio pins through platform data, but
if this functionality is used, the module can no longer be unloaded due
to the problem solved with the introduction of gpiochip_request_own_desc
and gpiochip_free_own_desc.

Export both function so they can be used from modules and from
platform initialization code.

As GPIO descriptors are not going to remain unique anymore, having this
function public is not safe. Restrain its use to gpiolib since we have
no user outside of it.
