Linus Torvalds 1ec5c1867a This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.11 cycle
Core changes:
 
 - Augment fwnode_get_named_gpiod() to configure the GPIO pin
   immediately after requesting it like all other APIs do.
   This is a treewide change also updating all users.
 
 - Pass a GPIO label down to gpiod_request() from
   fwnode_get_named_gpiod(). This makes debugfs and the userspace
   ABI correctly reflect the current in-kernel consumer of a pin
   taken using this abstraction. This is a treewide change also
   updating all users.
 
 - Rename devm_get_gpiod_from_child() to
   devm_fwnode_get_gpiod_from_child() to reflect the fact that this
   function is operating on a fwnode object. This is a treewide
   change also updating all users.
 
 - Make it possible to take multiple GPIOs in a single hog of device
   tree hogs.
 
 - The refactorings switching GPIO chips to use the .set_config()
   callback using standard pin control properties and providing
   a backend into the pin control subsystem that were also merged
   into the pin control tree naturally appear here too.
 
 Testing instrumentation:
 
 - A whole slew of cleanups and improvements to the mockup GPIO
   driver. We now have an extended userspace test exercising the
   subsystem, and we can inject interrupts etc from userspace
   to fully test the core GPIO functionality.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - New driver for the Cortina Systems Gemini GPIO controller.
 
 - New driver for the Exar XR17V352/354/358 chips.
 
 - New driver for the ACCES PCI-IDIO-16 PCI GPIO card.
 
 Driver changes:
 
 - RCAR: set the irqchip parent device, add fine-grained runtime
   PM support.
 
 - pca953x: support optional RESET control line on the chip.
 
 - DaVinci: cleanups and simplifications. Add support for multiple
   instances.
 
 - .set_multiple() and naming of lines on more or less all of the
   ISA/PCI GPIO controllers.
 
 - mcp23s08: refactored to use regmap as a first step to further
   rewrites and modernizations.

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.
