This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.19 kernel cycle: Core changes: - Add a new API for explicitly naming GPIO consumers, when needed. - Don't let userspace set values on input lines. While we do not think anyone would do this crazy thing we better plug the hole before someone uses it and think it's a nifty feature. - Avoid calling chip->request() for unused GPIOs. New drivers/subdrivers: - The Mediatek MT7621 is supported which is a big win for OpenWRT and similar router distributions using this chip, as it seems every major router manufacturer on the planet has made products using this chip: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/MediaTek_MT7621 - The Tegra 194 is now supported. - The IT87 driver now supports IT8786E and IT8718F super-IO chips. - Add support for Rockchip RK3328 in the syscon GPIO driver. Driver changes: - Handle the get/set_multiple() properly on MMIO chips with inverted direction registers. We didn't have this problem until a new chip appear that has get/set registers AND inverted direction bits, OK now we handle it. - A patch series making more error codes percolate upward properly for different errors on gpiochip_lock_as_irq(). - Get/set multiple for the OMAP driver, accelerating these multiple line operations if possible. - A coprocessor interface for the Aspeed driver. Sometimes a few GPIO lines need to be grabbed by a co-processor for doing automated tasks, sometimes they are available as GPIO lines. By adding an explicit API in this driver we make it possible for the two line consumers to coexist. (This work was made available on the ib-aspeed branch, which may be appearing in other pull requests.) - Implemented .get_direction() and open drain in the SCH311x driver. - Continuing cleanup of included headers in GPIO drivers.
