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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEFp3rbAvDxGAT0sefEacuoBRx13IFAmXu1ecACgkQEacuoBRx 13JR7w//R3TswZ1uC9qkRjat9eA2KZUaI2QChlS7V/yXVcDHynuTlO/ZQmnnMdYL ch7T2cjPcW0OCt0UhcjamUmYtWaxe1e5GU3E42EosWUsojEzgGs0iNKe0R4SHYzv whlkFqO8+8IctYhiMpAU1PzP9N4YBqypwgCrTqHIrYuhz3MbPQxtCMkr7g0LTo8u Z3K0D3Y0LuwISWNYYhA20Bwemn1fEHXJ9f3pTeNaGh2dGZek9k9xd0zWcCxwhaYD CBTBiZXf57TUTJ2u+JG+au1ghEmmvBPlMpza+fazypbcvsiQxdGvv5QH1bTwyt4B woGq+biLLvlwfJ8BT7+09uni7gUyNL3wWkixlx/8Slkyti4xWqgZQ3WnhwN8yS4Y DbkTtzH/PIsjr1dZw6rnGoXi80lBEaok7LeI0QhybopTXQI+CnIbE/RBhzly8Mf8 1cAVFjrF2gPuaTuheakRBw4LOhegf4a485fadJVEUeEpeF7/p9rDQWAbgohYUnCE gHPwkTOJuOZp+BlsTOyspnqxWnDVMtCnmi+q1o7JvEgXqAtzU7+1gz/wDpfsHgHQ oze6V2JvD2R3JkHmdqcIzq5yNwk1rOguOY3saNiwSk95JY+A8vhAe/gVykklKDXX oX/DPwlVd/0OR+0HCQ3r0pXK8BSRQ9qm/nUZNnLB+Rts9K1peIU= =LX+L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
