Linus Torvalds 1d8ce0e093 This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v5.9 kernel cycle:
Core changes:
 
 - Introduce the for_each_requested_gpio() macro to help in
   dependent code all over the place. Also patch a few locations
   to use it while we are at it.
 
 - Split out the sysfs code into its own file.
 
 - Split out the character device code into its own file, then
   make a set of refactorings and improvements to this code.
   We are setting the stage to revamp the userspace API a bit
   in the next cycle.
 
 - Fix a whole slew of kerneldoc that was wrong or missing.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - The PCA953x driver now supports the PCAL9535.
 
 Driver improvements:
 
 - A host of incremental modernizations and improvements to the
   PCA953x driver.
 
 - Incremental improvements to the Xilinx Zynq driver.
 
 - Some improvements to the GPIO aggregator driver.
 
 - I ran all over the place switching all threaded and other
   drivers requesting their own IRQ while using the core
   GPIO IRQ helpers to pass the GPIO irq chip as a template
   instead of calling the explicit set-up functions. Next merge
   window we may retire the old code altogether.

Merge tag 'gpio-v5.9-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v5.9 kernel cycle.

  There is nothing too exciting in it, but a new macro that fixes a
  build failure on a minor ARM32 platform that appeared yesterday is
  part of it so we better merge it.

  Core changes:

   - Introduce the for_each_requested_gpio() macro to help in dependent
     code all over the place. Also patch a few locations to use it while
     we are at it.

   - Split out the sysfs code into its own file.

   - Split out the character device code into its own file, then make a
     set of refactorings and improvements to this code. We are setting
     the stage to revamp the userspace API a bit in the next cycle.

   - Fix a whole slew of kerneldoc that was wrong or missing.

  New drivers:

   - The PCA953x driver now supports the PCAL9535.

  Driver improvements:

   - A host of incremental modernizations and improvements to the
     PCA953x driver.

   - Incremental improvements to the Xilinx Zynq driver.

   - Some improvements to the GPIO aggregator driver.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
