Linus Torvalds 6aa2f9441f This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle:
CORE:
 - Fix the semantics of raw GPIO to actually be raw. No
   inversion semantics as before, but also no open draining,
   and allow the raw operations to affect lines used for
   interrupts as the caller supposedly knows what they are
   doing if they are getting the big hammer.
 
 - Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that
   make more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing.
 
 - Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all
   IRQs are mapped dynamically. This is nice.
 
 - Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This
   allows us to read several GPIO lines with a single
   register read. This has high value for some usecases: it
   can be used to create oscilloscopes and signal analyzers
   and other things that rely on reading several lines at
   exactly the same instant. Also a generally nice
   optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from
   the bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and
   is implemented for two drivers, one of them being the
   generic MMIO driver so everyone using that will be able
   to benefit from this.
 
 - Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source
   setting of a GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware
   actually supports enabling both at the same time the
   electrical result would be disastrous.
 
 - A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful
   to deal with "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers
   with several logical blocks of GPIO inside them. This
   is several gpiochips per device in the device model, in
   contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1 relationship
   between a device and a gpiochip.
 
 NEW DRIVERS:
 
 - Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting
   piece of professional I/O hardware.
 
 - Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the
   recent Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform.
 
 - Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO
   infrastructure.
 
 OTHER IMPROVEMENTS:
 
 - Some documentation improvements.
 
 - Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
 
 - Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller.
 
 - Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the
   Broadcom BRCMSTB driver.
 
 - Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal
   of dead code etc.
 
 - Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements.
