Pull documentation update from Jon Corbet: "There is a nice new document from Neil on how pathname lookups work and some new CAN driver documentation. Beyond that, we have kernel-doc fixes, a bit more work to support reproducible builds, and the usual collection of small fixes" * tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (34 commits) Documentation: add new description of path-name lookup.

The gpiolib supports parsing DT properties of the form <function>-gpio
but it was only added for compatibility with older DT bindings that got
it wrong and should not be used in newer bindings.
The commit that added support for this was:
dd34c37aa3e8 ("gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names")
but didn't update the documentation to explain this so it's been a source
of confusion. So let's make clear this in the GPIO documentation.

The GPIO documentation mentions that GPIOs are mapped by defining a
<function>-gpios property in the consumer device's node but a -gpio
sufix is also supported after commit:
dd34c37aa3e8 ("gpio: of: Allow -gpio suffix for property names")
Update the documentation to match the implementation.

The con_id parameter has to match the GPIO description and is automatically extended by the GPIO suffix if not NULL. I had to look into the code to understand this and properly find the GPIO I've been looking for, so document this.

With commit 39b2bbe3d715 ("gpio: add flags argument to gpiod_get*()
functions") the gpiod_get*() functions got a 'flags' parameter. Reflect
this in the documentation, too.

I've been searching for any documentation of 'the active-low property of a GPIO' already mentioned in this documenation. But couldn't find any. Add it.
