sync_file is useful to connect one or more fences to the file. The file is
used by userspace to track fences between drivers that share DMA bufs.

timed_output was only used by the Android vibrator HAL which has now
learned how to use LED triggers instead[1]. Any users of it in AOSP are
on ancient kernels. Adding support for LED triggers is purely DT changes
and proper kernel config.

<title>staging: android: Allow compile test of GPIO consumers if !GPIOLIB</title>

The GPIO subsystem provides dummy GPIO consumer functions if GPIOLIB is
not enabled. Hence drivers that depend on GPIOLIB, but use GPIO consumer
functionality only, can still be compiled if GPIOLIB is not enabled.

Relax the dependency on GPIOLIB if COMPILE_TEST is enabled, where
appropriate.

With the relase of Lollipop, Android no longer
requires the logger driver.

There are three patches which the android dev's
still need before they drop logger on all their
devices:

[PATCH v4 1/5] pstores: use scnprintf
[PATCH v2 2/5] pstore: remove superfluous memory size check
[PATCH 3/5] pstore: handle zero-sized prz in series
[PATCH v4 4/5] pstore: add pmsg
[PATCH 5/5] pstore: selinux: add security in-core xattr support for pstore and debugfs

But these seem to have been acked and are hopefully
queued for upstream.

So this patch removes the logger driver from staging.

The functionality provided by the Android alarm-dev driver
should now be present in the timerfd interface (thanks to
Greg Hackmann and Todd Poynor).

As of Lollipop, AOSP can make use of the timerfd if
alarm-dev is not present (though a fixup for setting the
rtc time if rtc0 isn't the backing for _ALARM clockids has
been applied post-Lollipop).

Thus, we should be able to remove alarm-dev from staging.

The Android binder code has been "stable" for many years now.  No matter
what comes in the future, we are going to have to support this API, so
might as well move it to the "real" part of the kernel as there's no
real work that needs to be done to the existing code.
