Linus Torvalds 24dc83635f This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.21 kernel series:
Core changes:
 
 - Some core changes are already in outside of this pull
   request as they came through the regulator tree, most
   notably devm_gpiod_unhinge() that removes devres refcount
   management from a GPIO descriptor. This is needed in
   subsystems such as regulators where the regulator core
   need to take over the reference counting and lifecycle
   management for a GPIO descriptor.
 
 - We dropped devm_gpiochip_remove() and devm_gpio_chip_match()
   as nothing needs it. We can bring it back if need be.
 
 - Add a global TODO so people see where we are going. This
   helps setting the direction now that we are two GPIO
   maintainers.
 
 - Handle the MMC CD/WP properties in the device tree core.
   (The bulk of patches activating this code is already
   merged through the MMC/SD tree.)
 
 - Augment gpiochip_request_own_desc() to pass a flag so
   we as gpiochips can request lines as active low or open
   drain etc even from ourselves.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - New driver for Cadence GPIO blocks.
 
 - New driver for Atmel SAMA5D2 PIOBU GPIO lines.
 
 Driver improvements:
 
 - A major refactoring of the PCA953x driver - this driver has
   been around for ages, and is now modernized to reduce code
   duplication that has stacked up and is using regmap to read
   write and cache registers.
 
 - Intel drivers are now maintained in a separate tree and
   start with a round of cleanups and unifications.

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.
