Linus Torvalds 9798f5178f The is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.16 kernel cycle.
Core changes:
 
 - Disallow open drain and open source flags to be set
   simultaneously. This doesn't make electrical sense, and would
   the hardware actually respond to this setting, the result
   would be short circuit.
 
 - ACPI GPIO has a new core infrastructure for handling quirks.
   The quirks are there to deal with broken ACPI tables centrally
   instead of pushing the work to individual drivers. In the world
   of BIOS writers, the ACPI tables are perfect. Until they find a
   mistake in it. When such a mistake is found, we can patch it
   with a quirk. It should never happen, the problem is that it
   happens. So we accomodate for it.
 
 - Several documentation updates.
 
 - Revert the patch setting up initial direction state from
   reading the device. This was causing bad things for drivers
   that can't read status on all its pins. It is only affecting
   debugfs information quality.
 
 - Label descriptors with the device name if no explicit label is
   passed in.
 
 - Pave the ground for transitioning SPI and regulators to use
   GPIO descriptors by implementing some quirks in the device tree
   GPIO parsing code.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - New driver for the Access PCIe IDIO 24 family.
 
 Other:
 
 - Major refactorings and improvements to the GPIO mockup driver
   used for test and verification.
 
 - Moved the AXP209 driver over to pin control since it gained a
   pin control back-end. These patches will appear (with the same
   hashes) in the pin control pull request as well.
 
 - Convert the onewire GPIO driver w1-gpio to use descriptors.
   This is merged here since the W1 maintainers send very few
   pull requests and he ACKed it.
 
 - Start to clean up driver headers using <linux/gpio.h> to just
   use <linux/gpio/driver.h> as appropriate.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "The is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.16 kernel cycle. It is
  pretty calm this time around I think. I even got time to get to things
  like starting to clean up header includes.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
