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" * tag 'gpio-updates-for-v6.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux: (41 commits) gpio: mc33880: Convert comma to semicolon gpio: virtuser: actually use the "trimmed" local variable dt-bindings: gpio: convert Atmel GPIO to json-schema gpio: virtuser: new virtual testing driver for the GPIO API dt-bindings: gpio: vf610: Allow gpio-line-names to be set gpio: sim: lock GPIOs as interrupts when they are requested genirq/irq_sim: add an extended irq_sim initializer dt-bindings: gpio: fsl,qoriq-gpio: Add compatible string fsl,ls1046a-gpio gpiolib: unexport gpiochip_get_desc() gpio: add sloppy logic analyzer using polling Documentation: gpio: Reconfiguration with unset direction (uAPI v2) Documentation: gpio: Reconfiguration with unset direction (uAPI v1) dt-bindings: gpio: fsl,qoriq-gpio: add common property gpio-line-names gpio: ath79: convert to dynamic GPIO base allocation pinctrl: da9062: replace gpiochip_get_desc() with gpio_device_get_desc() gpiolib: put gpio_suffixes in a single compilation unit Documentation: gpio: Clarify effect of active low flag on line edges Documentation: gpio: Clarify effect of active low flag on line values gpiolib: Remove data-less gpiochip_add() function gpio: sim: use devm_mutex_init() ...
