Linus Torvalds ea125dedbc This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.18 development
cycle.
 
 Core changes:
 
 - We have killed off VLA from the core library and all drivers.
   The background should be clear for everyone at this point:
   https://lwn.net/Articles/749064/
   Also I just don't like VLA's, kernel developers hate it when
   compilers do things behind their back. It's as simple as that.
   I'm sorry that they even slipped in to begin with.
   Kudos to Laura Abbott for exorcising them.
 
 - Support GPIO hogs in machines/board files.
 
 New drivers and chip support:
 
 - R-Car r8a77470 (RZ/G1C)
 - R-Car r8a77965 (M3-N)
 - R-Car r8a77990 (E3)
 - PCA953x driver improvements to accomodate more variants.
 
 Improvements and new features:
 
 - Support one interrupt per line on port A in the DesignWare
   dwapb driver.
 
 Misc:
 
 - Random cleanups, right header files in the drivers, some
   size optimizations etc.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
