 This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.8 kernel cycle.
 
 Core changes:
 
 - The big item is of course the completion of the character
   device ABI. It has now replaced and surpassed the former
   unmaintainable sysfs ABI: we can now hammer (bitbang)
   individual lines or sets of lines and read individual lines
   or sets of lines from userspace, and we can also register
   to listen to GPIO events from userspace. As a tie-in we
   have two new tools in tools/gpio: gpio-hammer and
   gpio-event-mon that illustrate the proper use of the new
   ABI. As someone said: the wild west days of GPIO are now
   over.
 
 - Continued to remove the pointless
   ARCH_[WANT_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB Kconfig symbols.
   I'm patching hexagon, openrisc, powerpc, sh, unicore,
   ia64 and microblaze. These are either ACKed by their
   maintainers or patched anyways after a grace period and
   no response from maintainers. Some archs (ARM) come in from
   their trees, and others (x86) are still not fixed, so I
   might send a second pull request to root it out later in
   this merge window, or just defer to v4.9.
 
 - The GPIO tools are moved to the tools build system.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - New driver for the MAX77620/MAX20024.
 
 - New driver for the Intel Merrifield.
 
 - Enabled PCA953x for the TI PCA9536.
 
 - Enabled PCA953x for the Intel Edison.
 
 - Enabled R8A7792 in the RCAR driver.
 
 Driver improvements:
 
 - The STMPE and F7188x now supports the .get_direction()
   callback.
 
 - The Xilinx driver supports setting multiple lines at
   once.
 
 - ACPI support for the Vulcan GPIO controller.
 
 - The MMIO GPIO driver supports device tree probing.
 
 - The Acer One 10 is supported through the _DEP ACPI
   attribute.
 
 Cleanups:
 
 - A major cleanup of the OF/DT support code. It is way
   easier to read and understand now, probably this improves
   performance too.
 
 - Drop a few redundant .owner assignments.
 
 - Remove CLPS711x boardfile support: we are 100% DT.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.8 kernel cycle.  The big
  news is the completion of the chardev ABI which I'm very happy about
  and apart from that it's an ordinary, quite busy cycle.  The details
  are below.

  The patches are tested in linux-next for some time, patches to other
  subsystem mostly have ACKs.

  I got overly ambitious with configureing lines as input for IRQ lines
  but it turns out that some controllers have their interrupt-enable and
  input-enabling in orthogonal settings so the assumption that all IRQ
  lines are input lines does not hold.  Oh well, revert and back to the
  drawing board with that.
