Most users of IS_ERR_VALUE() in the kernel are wrong, as they
pass an 'int' into a function that takes an 'unsigned long'
argument. This happens to work because the type is sign-extended
on 64-bit architectures before it gets converted into an
unsigned type.

However, anything that passes an 'unsigned short' or 'unsigned int'
argument into IS_ERR_VALUE() is guaranteed to be broken, as are
8-bit integers and types that are wider than 'unsigned long'.

Andrzej Hajda has already fixed a lot of the worst abusers that
were causing actual bugs, but it would be nice to prevent any
users that are not passing 'unsigned long' arguments.

This patch changes all users of IS_ERR_VALUE() that I could find
on 32-bit ARM randconfig builds and x86 allmodconfig. For the
moment, this doesn't change the definition of IS_ERR_VALUE()
because there are probably still architecture specific users
elsewhere.

Almost all the warnings I got are for files that are better off
using 'if (err)' or 'if (err &lt; 0)'.
The only legitimate user I could find that we get a warning for
is the (32-bit only) freescale fman driver, so I did not remove
the IS_ERR_VALUE() there but changed the type to 'unsigned long'.
For 9pfs, I just worked around one user whose calling conventions
are so obscure that I did not dare change the behavior.

I was using this definition for testing:

 #define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) ((unsigned long*)NULL == (typeof (x)*)NULL &amp;&amp; \
       unlikely((unsigned long long)(x) &gt;= (unsigned long long)(typeof(x))-MAX_ERRNO))

which ends up making all 16-bit or wider types work correctly with
the most plausible interpretation of what IS_ERR_VALUE() was supposed
to return according to its users, but also causes a compile-time
warning for any users that do not pass an 'unsigned long' argument.

I suggested this approach earlier this year, but back then we ended
up deciding to just fix the users that are obviously broken. After
the initial warning that caused me to get involved in the discussion
(fs/gfs2/dir.c) showed up again in the mainline kernel, Linus
asked me to send the whole thing again.

[ Updated the 9p parts as per Al Viro  - Linus ]

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7:

  Core infrastructural changes:

   - Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages.

     This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
     drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we
     did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to
     get high impedance.

     This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
     for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just
     wrote.

   - Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible
     ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another
     evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was
     unmaintained.

     Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
     arches will trickle in for the next kernel.  Some minor archs ACKed
     the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request.

   - Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for
     storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and
     a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input,
     serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.

   - The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO
     lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is
     implemented - whether the line is input or output.  This also
     reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".

   - It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from
     the device tree.  (Platform data has been supported for a while).
     I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days.
     This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g.
     GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.

  New drivers:

   - New driver for the Loongson1.

   - The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.

   - The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.

   - The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.

  Driver improvements:

   - MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now
     also suppors level-triggered interrupts.

   - 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback

   - AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.

   - TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
     support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some
     cases open source.

   - Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers like
     PL061, Xgene.

  Cleanups:

   - Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized those
     who are not really modules.

   - Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where they
     belong.

   - Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
     point.  That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less"

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/gpio/Kconfig:config GPIO_ZEVIO
drivers/gpio/Kconfig:   bool "LSI ZEVIO SoC memory mapped GPIOs"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/gpio/Kconfig:config GPIO_STMPE
drivers/gpio/Kconfig:   bool "STMPE GPIOs"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Curiously, this driver was using subsys_initcall since day one, so
we don't have the "normal" module_init replacement in this change
like we've done in other similar driver updates.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/gpio/Kconfig:config GPIO_SODAVILLE
drivers/gpio/Kconfig:   bool "Intel Sodaville GPIO support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"
code for non-modular drivers.

Since module_pci_driver() uses the same init level as the
builtin_pci_driver() does, there is no init ordering change
caused by this commit.

We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
was (or is now) contained at the top of the file in the comments.

<title>gpio: of: make it possible to name GPIO lines</title>

Make it possible to name the producer side of a GPIO line using
a "gpio-line-names" property array, modeled on the
"clock-output-names" property from the clock bindings.

This naming is especially useful for:

- Debugging: lines are named after function, not just opaque
  offset numbers.

- Exploration: systems where some or all GPIO lines are available
  to end users, such as prototyping, one-off's "makerspace usecases"
  users are helped by the names of the GPIO lines when tinkering.
  This usecase has been surfacing recently.

The gpio-line-names attribute is completely optional.

Example output from lsgpio on a patched Snowball tree:

GPIO chip: gpiochip6, "8000e180.gpio", 32 GPIO lines
        line  0: unnamed unused
        line  1: "AP_GPIO161" "extkb3" [kernel]
        line  2: "AP_GPIO162" "extkb4" [kernel]
        line  3: "ACCELEROMETER_INT1_RDY" unused [kernel]
        line  4: "ACCELEROMETER_INT2" unused
        line  5: "MAG_DRDY" unused [kernel]
        line  6: "GYRO_DRDY" unused [kernel]
        line  7: "RSTn_MLC" unused
        line  8: "RSTn_SLC" unused
        line  9: "GYRO_INT" unused
        line 10: "UART_WAKE" unused
        line 11: "GBF_RESET" unused
        line 12: unnamed unused

<title>gpio: ws16c48: Utilize the ISA bus driver</title>

The WinSystems WS16C48 communicates via the ISA bus. As such, it is more
appropriate to use the ISA bus driver over the platform driver to
control the WinSystems WS16C48 GPIO driver.

This patch also adds support for multiple devices via the base and irq
module array parameters. Each element of the base array corresponds to a
discrete device; each element of the irq array corresponds to the
respective device addressed in the respective base array element.
