Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input

2018-02-01T18:49:58+00:00

Pull input layer updates from Dmitry Torokhov:

 - evdev interface has been adjusted to extend the life of timestamps on
   32 bit systems to the year of 2108

 - Synaptics RMI4 driver's PS/2 guest handling ha beed updated to
   improve chances of detecting trackpoints on the pass-through port

 - mms114 touchcsreen controller driver has been updated to support
   generic device properties and work with mms152 cntrollers

 - Goodix driver now supports generic touchscreen properties

 - couple of drivers for AVR32 architecture are gone as the architecture
   support has been removed from the kernel

 - gpio-tilt driver has been removed as there are no mainline users and
   the driver itself is using legacy APIs and relies on platform data

 - MODULE_LINECSE/MODULE_VERSION cleanups

gpio: Documentation update

2018-01-18T09:43:43+00:00

Update a slew of documentation files with the latest changes in the
API/ABI. Again stress that sysfs is deprecated. Add all new flags and
clean up and move some text.

Documentation: gpio: correct return value of gpiod_get_direction

2018-01-09T14:36:19+00:00

The use of the GPIOF_* flags is deprecated, so don't advertise them
here. Document the plain numbers for now until we have a better
solution.

Input: gpio_tilt - delete driver

2018-01-02T06:54:42+00:00

This driver was merged in 2011 as a tool for detecting the orientation
of a screen. The device driver assumes board file setup using the
platform data from . But no boards in the
kernel tree defines this platform data.

As I am faced with refactoring drivers to use GPIO descriptors and
pass decriptor tables from boards, or use the device tree device
drivers like these creates a serious problem: I cannot fix them and
cannot test them, not even compile-test them with a system actually
using it (no in-tree boardfile).

I suggest to delete this driver and rewrite it using device tree if
it is still in use on actively maintained systems.

I can also offer to rewrite it out of the blue using device tree if
someone promise to test it and help me iterate it.

gpio: Move irq_valid_mask into struct gpio_irq_chip

2017-11-08T13:10:18+00:00

In order to consolidate the multiple ways to associate an IRQ chip with
a GPIO chip, move more fields into the new struct gpio_irq_chip.

gpio: Introduce ->get_multiple callback

2017-10-19T20:32:39+00:00

SPI-attached GPIO controllers typically read out all inputs in one go.
If callers desire the values of multipe inputs, ideally a single readout
should take place to return the desired values.  However the current
driver API only offers a ->get callback but no ->get_multiple (unlike
->set_multiple, which is present).  Thus, to read multiple inputs, a
full readout needs to be performed for every single value (barring
driver-internal caching), which is inefficient.

In fact, the lack of a ->get_multiple callback has been bemoaned
repeatedly by the gpio subsystem maintainer:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-gpio/msg10571.html
http://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg121734.html

Introduce the missing callback.  Add corresponding consumer functions
such as gpiod_get_array_value().  Amend linehandle_ioctl() to take
advantage of the newly added infrastructure.  Update the documentation.

pinctrl/gpio: Unify namespace for cross-calls

2017-09-22T09:02:10+00:00

The pinctrl_request_gpio() and pinctrl_free_gpio() break the nice
namespacing in the other cross-calls like pinctrl_gpio_foo().
Just rename them and all references so we have one namespace
with all cross-calls under pinctrl_gpio_*().
