Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1. Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to have their own git tree" lately. Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here: - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the use of it in containerized systems. This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a distinct lack of good judgement :) - binder updates and fixes - mei driver updates - fpga driver updates and additions - thunderbolt driver updates - soundwire driver updates - extcon driver updates - nvmem driver updates - hyper-v driver updates - coresight driver updates - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see happen. Good stuff. - other tiny driver updates and fixes.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.21-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

2018-12-29T04:00:21Z

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.21 kernel series. Core changes: - Some core changes are already in outside of this pull request as they came through the regulator tree, most notably devm_gpiod_unhinge() that removes devres refcount management from a GPIO descriptor. This is needed in subsystems such as regulators where the regulator core need to take over the reference counting and lifecycle management for a GPIO descriptor. - We dropped devm_gpiochip_remove() and devm_gpio_chip_match() as nothing needs it. We can bring it back if need be. - Add a global TODO so people see where we are going. This helps setting the direction now that we are two GPIO maintainers. - Handle the MMC CD/WP properties in the device tree core. (The bulk of patches activating this code is already merged through the MMC/SD tree.) - Augment gpiochip_request_own_desc() to pass a flag so we as gpiochips can request lines as active low or open drain etc even from ourselves. New drivers: - New driver for Cadence GPIO blocks. - New driver for Atmel SAMA5D2 PIOBU GPIO lines. Driver improvements: - A major refactoring of the PCA953x driver - this driver has been around for ages, and is now modernized to reduce code duplication that has stacked up and is using regmap to read write and cache registers. - Intel drivers are now maintained in a separate tree and start with a round of cleanups and unifications" * tag 'gpio-v4.21-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (99 commits) gpio: sama5d2-piobu: Depend on OF_GPIO gpio: Add Cadence GPIO driver dt-bindings: gpio: Add bindings for Cadence GPIO gpiolib-acpi: remove unused variable 'err', cleans up build warning gpio: mxs: read pin level directly instead of using .get gpio: aspeed: remove duplicated statement gpio: add driver for SAMA5D2 PIOBU pins dt-bindings: arm: atmel: describe SECUMOD usage as a GPIO controller gpio/mmc/of: Respect polarity in the device tree dt-bindings: gpio: rcar: Add r8a774c0 (RZ/G2E) support memory: omap-gpmc: Get the header of the enum ARM: omap1: Fix new user of gpiochip_request_own_desc() gpio: pca953x: Add regmap dependency for PCA953x driver gpio: raspberrypi-exp: decrease refcount on firmware dt node gpiolib: Fix return value of gpio_to_desc() stub if !GPIOLIB gpio: pca953x: Restore registers after suspend/resume cycle gpio: pca953x: Zap single use of pca953x_read_single() gpio: pca953x: Zap ad-hoc reg_output cache gpio: pca953x: Zap ad-hoc reg_direction cache gpio: pca953x: Perform basic regmap conversion ...

gpio: Pass a flag to gpiochip_request_own_desc()

2018-12-14T13:24:33Z

Before things go out of hand, make it possible to pass flags when requesting "own" descriptors from a gpio_chip. This is necessary if the chip wants to request a GPIO with active low semantics, for example.
