Pull take two of the GPIO updates:
 "Same stuff as last time, now with a fixup patch for the previous
  compile error plus I ran a few extra rounds of compile-testing.

  This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:

   - A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the time.  This
     is implemented for the new descriptor-based API only and makes it
     possible to e.g. toggle a clock and data line at the same time, if
     the hardware can do this with a single register write.  Both
     consumers and drivers need new calls, and the core will fall back
     to driving individual lines where needed.  Implemented for the
     MPC8xxx driver initially

   - Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver that drives
     modems to use the new multiple-setting API to set several signals
     simultaneously

   - Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead allocate
     descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain GPIO chip.  This
     moves us closer to getting rid of the limitation of using the
     global, static GPIO numberspace

   - New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs

   - New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid

   - Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794

   - Guidelines for GPIO device tree bindings trying to get things a bit
     more strict with the advent of combined device properties

   - Suspend/resume support for the MVEBU driver

   - A slew of minor fixes and improvements"

Although gpiod_get_direction() can be considered side-effect free for
consumers, its internals involve setting or clearing bits in the
affected GPIO descriptor, for which we need to force-cast the const
descriptor variable to non-const. This could lead to incorrect behavior
if the compiler decides to optimize here, so remove this const
attribute. The intent is to make gpiod_get_direction() private anyway,
so it does not really matter.

<title>gpiolib: allow simultaneous setting of multiple GPIO outputs</title>

<id>5f42424354f5b0ca5413b4fb8528d150692c85b7</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce new functions gpiod_set_array &amp; gpiod_set_raw_array to the consumer
interface which allow setting multiple outputs with just one function call.
Also add an optional set_multiple function to the driver interface. Without an
implementation of that function in the chip driver outputs are set
sequentially.

Implementing the set_multiple function in a chip driver allows for:
- Improved performance for certain use cases. The original motivation for this
  was the task of configuring an FPGA. In that specific case, where 9 GPIO
  lines have to be set many times, configuration time goes down from 48 s to
  20 s when using the new function.
- Simultaneous glitch-free setting of multiple pins on any kind of parallel
  bus attached to GPIOs provided they all reside on the same chip and bank.

Limitations:
  Performance is only improved for normal high-low outputs. Open drain and
  open source outputs are always set separately from each other. Those kinds
  of outputs could probably be accelerated in a similar way if we could
  forgo the error checking when setting GPIO directions.

Change log:
  v6: - rebase on current linux-gpio devel branch
  v5: - check can_sleep property per chip
      - remove superfluous checks
      - supplement documentation
  v4: - add gpiod_set_array function for setting logical values
      - change interface of the set_multiple driver function to use
        unsigned long as type for the bit fields
      - use generic bitops (which also use unsigned long for bit fields)
      - do not use ARCH_NR_GPIOS any more
  v3: - add documentation
      - change commit message
  v2: - use descriptor interface
      - allow arbitrary groups of GPIOs spanning multiple chips

Some drivers need to deal with only firmware representation of its
GPIOs. An example would be a GPIO button array driver where each button
is described as a separate firmware node in device tree. Typically these
child nodes do not have physical representation in the Linux device
model.

In order to help device drivers to handle such firmware child nodes we
add dev[m]_get_named_gpiod_from_child() that takes a child firmware
node pointer as its second argument (the first one is the parent device
itself), finds the GPIO using whatever is the underlying firmware
method, and requests the GPIO properly.

commit 39b2bbe3d715cf5013b5c48695ccdd25bd3bf120
"gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*() functions"
added a dynamic flags argument to all the GPIOD getter
functions, however this did not cover the stubs so
when people used gpiod stubs to compile out descriptor
code, compilation failed.

Solve this by:
- Also rename all the stub functions __gpiod_*
- Moving the vararg hack outside of #ifdef CONFIG_GPIOLIB
  so these will always be available.

The GPIOD flags are defined inside the #ifdef CONFIG_GPIOLIB
switch, making the gpiolib stubs fail if these flags are used
by a consumer. This is not correct: the stubs should compile
fine without GPIOLIB.

The huge majority of GPIOs have their direction and initial value set
right after being obtained by one of the gpiod_get() functions. The
integer GPIO API had gpio_request_one() that took a convenience flags
parameter allowing to specify an direction and value applied to the
returned GPIO. This feature greatly simplifies client code and ensures
errors are always handled properly.

A similar feature has been requested for the gpiod API. Since setting
the direction of a GPIO is so often the very next action done after
obtaining its descriptor, we prefer to extend the existing functions
instead of introducing new functions that would raise the
number of gpiod getters to 16 (!).

The drawback of this approach is that all gpiod clients need to be
updated. To limit the pain, temporary macros are introduced that allow
gpiod_get*() to be called with or without the extra flags argument. They
will be removed once all consumer code has been updated.

Introduce gpiod_get_optional() and gpiod_get_index_optional() helpers
that make it easier for drivers to handle optional GPIOs.

Currently in order to handle optional GPIOs, a driver needs to special
case error handling for -ENOENT, such as this:

	gpio = gpiod_get(dev, "foo");
	if (IS_ERR(gpio)) {
		if (PTR_ERR(gpio) != -ENOENT)
			return PTR_ERR(gpio);

		gpio = NULL;
	}

	if (gpio) {
		/* set up GPIO */
	}

With these new helpers the above is reduced to:

	gpio = gpiod_get_optional(dev, "foo");
	if (IS_ERR(gpio))
		return PTR_ERR(gpio);

	if (gpio) {
		/* set up GPIO */
	}

While at it, device-managed variants of these functions are also
provided.
