Linus Torvalds c7d28eca1d This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.13 series:
Core:
 - Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO
   descriptor tables.
 - Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO line
   may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to save
   power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver.
 - ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges.
 - Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop.
 
 New drivers:
 - Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO.
 - MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K.
 - LP87565 PMIC GPIO.
 - Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M).
 - The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this
   changeset.
 
 Substantial driver changes:
 - Seriously fix the Exar 8250 GPIO portions to work.
 - The MCP23S08 was moved out to a pin control driver.
 - Convert MEVEBU to use regmap for register access.
 - Drop Vulcan support from the Broadcom driver.
 - Serious cleanup and improvement of the mockup driver, giving us a
   better test coverage.
 
 Misc:
 - Lots of janitorial clean up.
 - A bunch of documentation fixes.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.13-1' 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 v4.13 series.

  Some administrativa:

  I have a slew of 8250 serial patches and the new IOT2040 serial+GPIO
  driver coming in through this tree, along with a whole bunch of Exar
  8250 fixes. These are ACKed by Greg and also hit drivers/platform/*
  where they are ACKed by Andy Shevchenko.

  Speaking about drivers/platform/* there is also a bunch of ACPI stuff
  coming through that route, again ACKed by Andy.

  The MCP23S08 changes are coming in here as well. You already have the
  commits in your tree, so this is just a result of sharing an immutable
  branch between pin control and GPIO.

  Core:
   - Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO
     descriptor tables.
   - Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO
     line may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to
     save power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver.
   - ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges.
   - Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop.

  New drivers:
   - Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO.
   - MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K.
   - LP87565 PMIC GPIO.
   - Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M).
   - The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this
     changeset.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
