Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This time very little driver changes but lots of core changes.
We have some interesting cooperative work for ARM and Intel alike,
making the GPIO subsystem more and more suitable for industrial
systems and the like, in addition to the in-kernel users.
We touch driver core (device properties) and lib/* by adding one
simple string array free function, these are authored by Andy
Shevchenko who is a well known and recognized core helpers maintainers
so this should be fine.
We also see some Android GKI-related modularization in the MXC
drivers.
Core changes:
- The big core change is the updated (v2) userspace character device
API.
This corrects badly designed 64-bit alignment around the line
events. We also add the debounce request feature. This echoes the
often quotes passage from Frederick Brooks "The mythical man-month"
to always throw one away, which we have seen before in things such
as V4L2. So we put in a new one and deprecate and obsolete the old
one.
- All example tools in tools/gpio/* are migrated to the new API to
set a good example. The libgpiod userspace library has been
augmented to use this new API pretty much from day 1.
- Some misc API hardening by using strn* function calls has been
added as well.
- Use the simpler IDA interface for GPIO chip instance enumeration.
- Add device core function for counting string arrays in device
properties.
- Provide a generic library function kfree_strarray() that can be
used throughout the kernel.
Driver enhancements:
- The DesignWare dwapb-gpio driver has been enhanced and now uses the
IRQ handling in the gpiolib core.
- The mockup and aggregator drivers have seen some substantial code
clean-up and now use more of the core kernel inftrastructure.
- Misc cleanups using dev_err_probe().
- The MXC drivers (Freescale/NXP) can now be built modularized, which
makes modularized GKI Android kernels happy"
