Merge tag 'gpio-v4.8-1' 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 v4.8 kernel cycle.  The big
  news is the completion of the chardev ABI which I'm very happy about
  and apart from that it's an ordinary, quite busy cycle.  The details
  are below.

  The patches are tested in linux-next for some time, patches to other
  subsystem mostly have ACKs.

  I got overly ambitious with configureing lines as input for IRQ lines
  but it turns out that some controllers have their interrupt-enable and
  input-enabling in orthogonal settings so the assumption that all IRQ
  lines are input lines does not hold.  Oh well, revert and back to the
  drawing board with that.

  Core changes:

   - The big item is of course the completion of the character device
     ABI.  It has now replaced and surpassed the former unmaintainable
     sysfs ABI: we can now hammer (bitbang) individual lines or sets of
     lines and read individual lines or sets of lines from userspace,
     and we can also register to listen to GPIO events from userspace.

     As a tie-in we have two new tools in tools/gpio: gpio-hammer and
     gpio-event-mon that illustrate the proper use of the new ABI.  As
     someone said: the wild west days of GPIO are now over.

   - Continued to remove the pointless ARCH_[WANT_OPTIONAL|REQUIRE]_GPIOLIB
     Kconfig symbols.  I'm patching hexagon, openrisc, powerpc, sh,
     unicore, ia64 and microblaze.  These are either ACKed by their
     maintainers or patched anyways after a grace period and no response
     from maintainers.

     Some archs (ARM) come in from their trees, and others (x86) are
     still not fixed, so I might send a second pull request to root it
     out later in this merge window, or just defer to v4.9.

   - The GPIO tools are moved to the tools build system.

  New drivers:

   - New driver for the MAX77620/MAX20024.

   - New driver for the Intel Merrifield.

   - Enabled PCA953x for the TI PCA9536.

   - Enabled PCA953x for the Intel Edison.

   - Enabled R8A7792 in the RCAR driver.

  Driver improvements:

   - The STMPE and F7188x now supports the .get_direction() callback.

   - The Xilinx driver supports setting multiple lines at once.

   - ACPI support for the Vulcan GPIO controller.

   - The MMIO GPIO driver supports device tree probing.

   - The Acer One 10 is supported through the _DEP ACPI attribute.

  Cleanups:

   - A major cleanup of the OF/DT support code.  It is way easier to
     read and understand now, probably this improves performance too.

   - Drop a few redundant .owner assignments.

   - Remove CLPS711x boardfile support: we are 100% DT"
