Merge tag 'gpio-updates-for-v6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux
Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"The majority of added lines are two new modules: the GPIO virtual
consumer module that improves our ability to add automated tests for
the kernel API and the "sloppy" logic analyzer module that uses the
GPIO API to implement a coarse-grained debugging tool for useful for
remote development.
Other than that we have the usual assortment of various driver
extensions, improvements to the core GPIO code, DT-bindings and other
documentation updates as well as an extension to the interrupt
simulator:
GPIOLIB core:
- rework kfifo handling rework in the character device code
- improve the labeling of GPIOs requested as interrupts and show more
info on interrupt-only GPIOs in debugfs
- remove unused APIs
- unexport interfaces that are only used from the core GPIO code
- drop the return value from gpiochip_set_desc_names() as it cannot
fail
- move a string array definition out of a header and into a specific
compilation unit
- convert the last user of gpiochip_get_desc() other than GPIO core
to using a safer alternative
- use array_index_nospec() where applicable
New drivers:
- add a "virtual GPIO consumer" module that allows requesting GPIOs
from actual hardware and driving tests of the in-kernel GPIO API
from user-space over debugfs
- add a GPIO-based "sloppy" logic analyzer module useful for "first
glance" debugging on remote boards
Driver improvements:
- add support for a new model to gpio-pca953x
- lock GPIOs as interrupts in gpio-sim when the lines are requested
as irqs via the simulator domain + some other minor improvements
- improve error reporting in gpio-syscon
- convert gpio-ath79 to using dynamic GPIO base and range
- use pcibios_err_to_errno() for converting PCIBIOS error codes to
errno vaues in gpio-amd8111 and gpio-rdc321x
- allow building gpio-brcmstb for the BCM2835 architecture
DT bindings:
- convert DT bindings for lsi,zevio, mpc8xxx, and atmel to DT schema
- document new properties for aspeed,gpio, fsl,qoriq-gpio and
gpio-vf610
- document new compatibles for pca953x and fsl,qoriq-gpio
Documentation:
- document stricter behavior of the GPIO character device uAPI with
regards to reconfiguring requested line without direction set
- clarify the effect of the active-low flag on line values and edges
- remove documentation for the legacy GPIO API in order to stop
tempting people to use it
- document the preference for using pread() for reading edge events
in the sysfs API
Other:
- add an extended initializer to the interrupt simulator allowing to
specify a number of callbacks callers can use to be notified about
irqs being requested and released"
