 This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6:
 
 Core changes:
 
 - The gpio_chip is now a *real device*. Until now the gpio chips
   were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
   space outside of the device model. We now finally make GPIO chips
   devices. The gpio_chip will create a gpio_device which contains
   a struct device, and this gpio_device struct is kept private.
   Anything that needs to be kept private from the rest of the kernel
   will gradually be moved over to the gpio_device.
 
 - As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added
   resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
   overhead and reduce code lines. A huge slew of patches convert
   almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this.
 
 - Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step
   of a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device. We take small
   steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool
   "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all
   lines on these devices. We can now discover GPIOs properly from
   userspace. We still have not come up with a way to actually *use*
   GPIOs from userspace.
 
 - To encourage people to use the character device for the future,
   we have it always-enabled when using GPIO. The old sysfs ABI is
   still opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as
   deprecated. We will keep it around for the foreseeable future,
   but it will not be extended to cover ever more use cases.
 
 Cleanup:
 
 - Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture <asm/gpio.h>
   includes. This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and
   no shared library even existed: just a header file with proper
   prototypes was provided and all semantics were up to the arch to
   implement. These patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper
   device and cleans out leftovers of the old in-kernel API here
   and there. Still some cruft is left but it's very little now.
 
 - There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going
   on, but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers
   and the errorpath is sanitized. Some patches for powerpc, blackfin
   and unicore still drop in.
 
 - We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO
   implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code
   lines.
 
 - MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.
 
 - ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - WinSystems WS16C48
 
 - Acces 104-DIO-48E
 
 - F81866 (a F7188x variant)
 
 - Qoric (a MPC8xxx variant)
 
 - TS-4800
 
 - SPI serializers (pisosr): simple 74xx shift registers connected
   to SPI to obtain a dirt-cheap output-only GPIO expander.
 
 - Texas Instruments TPIC2810
 
 - Texas Instruments TPS65218
 
 - Texas Instruments TPS65912
 
 - X-Gene (ARM64) standby GPIO controller

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6.  There is quite a
  lot of interesting stuff going on.

  The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as
  possible, though I consider things like per-arch <asm/gpio.h> as
  essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed.

  Core changes:

   - The gpio_chip is now a *real device*.  Until now the gpio chips
     were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
     space outside of the device model.

     We now finally make GPIO chips devices.  The gpio_chip will create
     a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device
     struct is kept private.  Anything that needs to be kept private
     from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the
     gpio_device.

     resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
     overhead and reduce code lines.  A huge slew of patches convert
