Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v5.3 kernel cycle:

  Core changes:

   - Device links can optionally be added between a pin control producer
     and its consumers. This will affect how the system power management
     is handled: a pin controller will not suspend before all of its
     consumers have been suspended.

     This was necessary for the ST Microelectronics STMFX expander and
     need to be tested on other systems as well: it makes sense to make
     this default in the long run.

     Right now it is opt-in per driver.

   - Drive strength can be specified in microamps. With decreases in
     silicon technology, milliamps isn't granular enough, let's make it
     possible to select drive strengths in microamps.

     Right now the Meson (AMlogic) driver needs this.

  New drivers:

   - New subdriver for the Tegra 194 SoC.

   - New subdriver for the Qualcomm SDM845.

   - New subdriver for the Qualcomm SM8150.

   - New subdriver for the Freescale i.MX8MN (Freescale is now a product
     line of NXP).

   - New subdriver for Marvell MV98DX1135.

  Driver improvements:

   - The Bitmain BM1880 driver now supports pin config in addition to
     muxing.

   - The Qualcomm drivers can now reserve some GPIOs as taken aside and
     not usable for users. This is used in ACPI systems to take out some
     GPIO lines used by the BIOS so that noone else (neither kernel nor
     userspace) will play with them by mistake and crash the machine.

   - A slew of refurbishing around the Aspeed drivers (board management
     controllers for servers) in preparation for the new Aspeed AST2600
     SoC.

   - A slew of improvements over the SH PFC drivers as usual.

   - Misc cleanups and fixes"

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1

  It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api
  changes and lots of debugfs cleanups.

  Other than the debugfs cleanups, in this set of changes we have:

   - bus iteration function cleanups

   - scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI
     entries in a simple way

   - cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse easier
     due to typos and other minor things

   - default_attrs use for some ktype users

   - driver model documentation file conversions to .rst

   - compressed firmware file loading

   - deferred probe fixes

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with a bunch of
  merge issues that Stephen has been patient with me for"

Further cleanup from the SPDX fixup fallout for the recent ASPEED
series. aspeed_g4_defconfig, aspeed_g5_defconfig and multi_v5_defconfig
now compile. Smoke tested the g4 and g5 kernels under QEMU's
palmetto-bmc and romulus-bmc machines respectively.

Some subsystems, such as pinctrl, allow continuing to defer probe
indefinitely. This is useful for devices that depend on resources
provided by devices that are only probed after the init stage.

One example of this can be seen on Tegra, where the DPAUX hardware
contains pinmuxing controls for pins that it shares with an I2C
controller. The I2C controller is typically used for communication
with a monitor over HDMI (DDC). However, other instances of the I2C
controller are used to access system critical components, such as a
PMIC. The I2C controller driver will therefore usually be a builtin
driver, whereas the DPAUX driver is part of the display driver that
is loaded from a module to avoid bloating the kernel image with all
of the DRM/KMS subsystem.

In this particular case the pins used by this I2C/DDC controller
become accessible very late in the boot process. However, since the
controller is only used in conjunction with display, that's not an
issue.

Unfortunately the driver core currently outputs a warning message
when a device fails to get the pinctrl before the end of the init
stage. That can be confusing for the user because it may sound like
an unwanted error occurred, whereas it's really an expected and
harmless situation.

In order to eliminate this warning, this patch allows callers of the
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() helper to specify that they want
to continue deferring probe, regardless of whether we're past the
init stage or not. All of the callers of that function are updated
for the new signature, but only the pinctrl subsystem passes a true
value in the new persist parameter if appropriate.

The ASPEED pinctrl driver implementations make heavy use of macros to
minimise tedium of implementation and maximise the chance that the
compiler will catch errors in defining signal and pin configurations.
While the goal of minimising errors is achieved, it is at the cost of
the complexity of the macros.

Document examples of the expanded form of pin declarations to
demonstrate the operation of the macros.
