Linus Torvalds 2bd8040174 This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.12 kernel cycle:
Core changes
 
 - Return NULL from gpiod_get_optional() when GPIOLIB is disabled.
   This was a much discussed change. It affects use cases where people
   write drivers that might or might not be using GPIO resources.
   I have decided that this is the lesser evil right now.
 
 - Make gpiod_count() behave consistently across different hardware
   descriptions.
 
 - Fix the syntax around open drain/open source to not infer active
   high/low semantics.
 
 New drivers
 
 - A new single-register fixed-direction framework driver for hardware
   that have lines controlled by a single register that just work in
   one direction (out or in), including IRQ support.
 
 - Support the Fintek F71889A GPIO SuperIO controller.
 
 - Support the National NI 169445 MMIO GPIO.
 
 - Support for the X-Gene derivative of the DWC GPIO controller
 
 - Support for the Rohm BD9571MWV-M PMIC GPIO controller.
 
 - Refactor the Gemini GPIO driver to a generic Faraday FTGPIO driver
   and replace both the Gemini and the Moxa ART custom drivers with
   this driver.
 
 Driver improvements
 
 - A whole slew of drivers have their spinlocks chaned to raw spinlocks
   as they provide irqchips, and thus we are progressing on realtime
   compliance.
 
 - Use devm_irq_alloc_descs() in a slew of drivers, getting managed
   resources.
 
 - Support for the embedded PWM controller inside the MVEBU driver.
 
 - Debounce, open source and open drain support for the Aspeed driver.
 
 - Misc smaller fixes like spelling and syntax and whatnot.
