Core changes:
- The big item is of course the completion of the character
device ABI. It has now replaced and surpassed the former
unmaintainable sysfs ABI: we can now hammer (bitbang)
individual lines or sets of lines and read individual lines
or sets of lines from userspace, and we can also register
to listen to GPIO events from userspace. As a tie-in we
have two new tools in tools/gpio: gpio-hammer and
gpio-event-mon that illustrate the proper use of the new
ABI. As someone said: the wild west days of GPIO are now
over.
- Continued to remove the pointless
ARCH_[WANT_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB Kconfig symbols.
I'm patching hexagon, openrisc, powerpc, sh, unicore,
ia64 and microblaze. These are either ACKed by their
maintainers or patched anyways after a grace period and
no response from maintainers. Some archs (ARM) come in from
their trees, and others (x86) are still not fixed, so I
might send a second pull request to root it out later in
this merge window, or just defer to v4.9.
- The GPIO tools are moved to the tools build system.
New drivers:
- New driver for the MAX77620/MAX20024.
- New driver for the Intel Merrifield.
- Enabled PCA953x for the TI PCA9536.
- Enabled PCA953x for the Intel Edison.
- Enabled R8A7792 in the RCAR driver.
Driver improvements:
- The STMPE and F7188x now supports the .get_direction()
callback.
- The Xilinx driver supports setting multiple lines at
once.
- ACPI support for the Vulcan GPIO controller.
- The MMIO GPIO driver supports device tree probing.
- The Acer One 10 is supported through the _DEP ACPI
attribute.
Cleanups:
- A major cleanup of the OF/DT support code. It is way
easier to read and understand now, probably this improves
performance too.
- Drop a few redundant .owner assignments.
- Remove CLPS711x boardfile support: we are 100% DT.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.8-1' 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 v4.8 kernel cycle. The big
news is the completion of the chardev ABI which I'm very happy about
and apart from that it's an ordinary, quite busy cycle. The details
are below.
The patches are tested in linux-next for some time, patches to other
subsystem mostly have ACKs.
I got overly ambitious with configureing lines as input for IRQ lines
but it turns out that some controllers have their interrupt-enable and
input-enabling in orthogonal settings so the assumption that all IRQ
lines are input lines does not hold. Oh well, revert and back to the
drawing board with that.
