Linus Torvalds 1eccc6e152 This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7:
Core infrastructural changes:
 
 - Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages. This
   means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
   drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than
   (as we did before) try to emulate it by switching the line
   to an input to get high impedance. This is also documented
   throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt for those of you
   who did not understand one word of what I just wrote.
 
 - Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and
   unitelligible ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and
   ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another evolutional artifact from
   the time when the GPIO subsystem was unmaintained. Archs can
   now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
   arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs
   ACKed the changes immediately so these are included in this
   pull request.
 
 - Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device
   for storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H
   Unicore and a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in
   ALSA SoC, Input, serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.
 
 - The initialization now reads the input/output state of the
   GPIO lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this
   callback is implemented - whether the line is input or
   output. This also reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".
 
 - It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names,
   from the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for
   a while.) I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI
   one of those days. This makes is possible to get sensible
   producer names for e.g. GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - New driver for the Loongson1.
 
 - The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.
 
 - The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.
 
 - The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.
 
 Driver improvements:
 
 - MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and
   now also suppors level-triggered interrupts.
 
 - 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback
 
 - AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.
 
 - TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
   support the new single ended callback for open drain
   and in some cases open source.
 
 - Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers
   like PL061, Xgene.
 
 Cleanups:
 
 - Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized
   those who are not really modules.
 
 - Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where
   they belong.
 
 - Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
   point. That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less.
