Linus Torvalds c2d3306991 GPIO bulk changes for the v3.13 development cycle
- Merged the GPIO descriptor API from Alexandre Courbot.
   This is a first step toward trying to get rid of the
   global GPIO numberspace for the future.
 
 - Add an API so that driver can flag that a certain GPIO
   line is being used by a irqchip backend for generating
   IRQs, so that we can enforce checks, like not allowing
   users to switch that line to an output at runtime, since
   this makes no sense. Implemented corresponding calls
   in a few select drivers.
 
 - ACPI GPIO cleanups, refactorings and switch to using the
   descriptor-based interface.
 
 - Support for the TPS80036 Palmas GPIO variant.
 
 - A new driver for the Broadcom Kona GPIO SoC IP block.
 
 - Device tree support for the PCF857x driver.
 
 - A set of ARM GPIO refactorings with the goal of getting
   rid of a bunch of custom GPIO implementations from the
   arch/arm/* tree:
 
   - Move the IOP GPIO driver to the GPIO subsystem and
     fix all users to use the gpiolib API for accessing
     GPIOs. Delete the old custom GPIO implementation.
 
   - Delete the unused custom PXA GPIO implemention.
 
   - Convert all users of the IXP4 custom GPIO
     implementation to use gpiolib and delete the custom
     implementation.
 
   - Delete the custom Gemini GPIO implementation, also
     completely unused.
 
 - Various cleanups and renamings.

Merge tag 'gpio-v3.13-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

Pull GPIO changes from Linus Walleij:
 "Here is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.13 development cycle.

  I've got ACKs for the things that affect other subsystems (or it's my
  own subsystem, like pinctrl).  Most of that pertain to an attempt from
  my side to consolidate and get rid of custom GPIO implementations in
  the ARM tree.  I will continue doing this.

  The main change this time is the new GPIO descriptor API, background
  for this can be found in Corbet's summary from this january in LWN:

    http://lwn.net/Articles/533632/

  Summary:

   - Merged the GPIO descriptor API from Alexandre Courbot.  This is a
     first step toward trying to get rid of the global GPIO numberspace
     for the future.

   - Add an API so that driver can flag that a certain GPIO line is
     being used by a irqchip backend for generating IRQs, so that we can
     enforce checks, like not allowing users to switch that line to an
     output at runtime, since this makes no sense.  Implemented
     corresponding calls in a few select drivers.

   - ACPI GPIO cleanups, refactorings and switch to using the
     descriptor-based interface.

   - Support for the TPS80036 Palmas GPIO variant.

   - A new driver for the Broadcom Kona GPIO SoC IP block.

   - Device tree support for the PCF857x driver.

   - A set of ARM GPIO refactorings with the goal of getting rid of a
     bunch of custom GPIO implementations from the arch/arm/* tree:

     * Move the IOP GPIO driver to the GPIO subsystem and fix all users
       to use the gpiolib API for accessing GPIOs.  Delete the old
       custom GPIO implementation.

     * Delete the unused custom PXA GPIO implemention.

     * Convert all users of the IXP4 custom GPIO implementation to use
       gpiolib and delete the custom implementation.

     * Delete the custom Gemini GPIO implementation, also completely
       unused.

   - Various cleanups and renamings"
