Linus Torvalds 1b2951dd99 This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.17 kernel cycle:
New drivers:
 
 - Nintendo Wii GameCube GPIO, known as "Hollywood"
 
 - Raspberry Pi mailbox service GPIO expander
 
 - Spreadtrum main SC9860 SoC and IEC GPIO controllers.
 
 Improvements:
 
 - Implemented .get_multiple() callback for most of the
   high-performance industrial GPIO cards for the ISA bus.
 
 - ISA GPIO drivers now select the ISA_BUS_API instead of
   depending on it. This is merged with the same pattern
   for all the ISA drivers and some other Kconfig cleanups
   related to this.
 
 Cleanup:
 
 - Delete the TZ1090 GPIO drivers following the deletion of
   this SoC from the ARM tree.
 
 - Move the documentation over to driver-api to conform with
   the rest of the kernel documentation build.
 
 - Continue to make the GPIO drivers include only
   <linux/gpio/driver.h> and not the too broad <linux/gpio.h>
   that we want to get rid of.
 
 - Managed to remove VLA allocation from two drivers pending
   more fixes in this area for the next merge window.
 
 - Misc janitorial fixes.

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.
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.
