Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.1 development cycle:
- A new GPIO hogging mechanism has been added. This can be used on
boards that want to drive some GPIO line high, low, or set it as
input on boot and then never touch it again. For some embedded
systems this is bliss and simplifies things to a great extent.
- Some API cleanup and closure: gpiod_get_array() and
gpiod_put_array() has been added to get and put GPIOs in bulk as
was possible with the non-descriptor API.
- Encapsulate cross-calls to the pin control subsystem in
<linux/gpio/driver.h>. Now this should be the only header any GPIO
driver needs to include or something is wrong. Cleanups
restricting drivers to this include are welcomed if tested.
- Sort the GPIO Kconfig and split it into submenus, as it was
becoming and unstructured, illogical ...
