gpio updates for v6.9
Serialization rework:
- use SRCU to serialize access to the global GPIO device list, to GPIO device
structs themselves and to GPIO descriptors
- make the GPIO subsystem resilient to the GPIO providers being unbound while
the API calls are in progress
- don't dereference the SRCU-protected chip pointer if the information we need
can be obtained from the GPIO device structure
- move some of the information contained in struct gpio_chip to struct
gpio_device to further reduce the need to dereference the former
- pass the GPIO device struct instead of the GPIO chip to sysfs callback to,
again, reduce the need for accessing the latter
- get GPIO descriptors from the GPIO device, not from the chip for the same
reason
- allow for mostly lockless operation of the GPIO driver API: assure
consistency with SRCU and atomic operations
- remove the global GPIO spinlock
- remove the character device RW semaphore
Core GPIOLIB:
- constify pointers in GPIO API where applicable
- unify the GPIO counting APIs for ACPI and OF
- provide a macro for iterating over all GPIOs, not only the ones that are
requested
- remove leftover typedefs
- pass the consumer device to GPIO core in devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() for
improved logging
- constify the GPIO bus type
- don't warn about removing GPIO chips with descriptors still held by users as
we can now handle this situation gracefully
- remove unused logging helpers
- unexport functions that are only used internally in the GPIO subsystem
- set the device type (assign the relevant struct device_type) for GPIO devices
New drivers:
- add the ChromeOS EC GPIO driver
Driver improvements:
- allow building gpio-vf610 with COMPILE_TEST as well as disabling it in
menuconfig (before it was always built for i.MX cofigs)
- count the number of EICs using the device properties instead of hard-coding
it in gpio-eic-sprd
- improve the device naming, extend the debugfs output and add lockdep asserts
to gpio-sim
DT bindings:
- document the 'label' property for gpio-pca9570
- convert aspeed,ast2400-gpio bindings to DT schema
- disallow unevaluated properties for gpio-mvebu
- document a new model in renesas,rcar-gpio
Documentation:
- improve the character device kerneldocs in user-space headers
- add proper documentation for the character device uAPI (both v1 and v2)
- move the sysfs and gpio-mockup docs into the "obsolete" section
- improve naming consistency for GPIO terms
- clarify the line values description for sysfs
- minor docs improvements
- improve the driver API contract for setting GPIO direction
- mark unsafe APIs as deprecated in kerneldocs and suggest replacements
Other:
- remove an obsolete test from selftests
