Serialization rework:
- use SRCU to serialize access to the global GPIO device list, to GPIO device
structs themselves and to GPIO descriptors
- make the GPIO subsystem resilient to the GPIO providers being unbound while
the API calls are in progress
- don't dereference the SRCU-protected chip pointer if the information we need
can be obtained from the GPIO device structure
- move some of the information contained in struct gpio_chip to struct
gpio_device to further reduce the need to dereference the former
- pass the GPIO device struct instead of the GPIO chip to sysfs callback to,
again, reduce the need for accessing the latter
- get GPIO descriptors from the GPIO device, not from the chip for the same
reason
- allow for mostly lockless operation of the GPIO driver API: assure
consistency with SRCU and atomic operations
- remove the global GPIO spinlock
- remove the character device RW semaphore
Core GPIOLIB:
- constify pointers in GPIO API where applicable
- unify the GPIO counting APIs for ACPI and OF
- provide a macro for iterating over all GPIOs, not only the ones that are
requested
- remove leftover typedefs
- pass the consumer device to GPIO core in devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() for
improved logging
- constify the GPIO bus type
- don't warn about removing GPIO chips with descriptors still held by users as
we can now handle this situation gracefully
- remove unused logging helpers
- unexport functions that are only used internally in the GPIO subsystem
- set the device type (assign the relevant struct device_type) for GPIO devices
New drivers:
- add the ChromeOS EC GPIO driver
Driver improvements:
- allow building gpio-vf610 with COMPILE_TEST as well as disabling it in
menuconfig (before it was always built for i.MX cofigs)
- count the number of EICs using the device properties instead of hard-coding
it in gpio-eic-sprd
- improve the device naming, extend the debugfs output and add lockdep asserts
to gpio-sim
DT bindings:
- document the 'label' property for gpio-pca9570
- convert aspeed,ast2400-gpio bindings to DT schema
- disallow unevaluated properties for gpio-mvebu
- document a new model in renesas,rcar-gpio
Documentation:
- improve the character device kerneldocs in user-space headers
- add proper documentation for the character device uAPI (both v1 and v2)
- move the sysfs and gpio-mockup docs into the "obsolete" section
- improve naming consistency for GPIO terms
- clarify the line values description for sysfs
- minor docs improvements
- improve the driver API contract for setting GPIO direction
- mark unsafe APIs as deprecated in kerneldocs and suggest replacements
Other:
- remove an obsolete test from selftests

Pull gpio updates from Bartosz Golaszewski:
"The biggest feature is the locking overhaul. Up until now the
synchronization in the GPIO subsystem was broken. There was a single
spinlock "protecting" multiple data structures but doing it wrong (as
evidenced by several places where it would be released when a sleeping
function was called and then reacquired without checking the protected
state).
We tried to use an RW semaphore before but the main issue with GPIO is
that we have drivers implementing the interfaces in both sleeping and
non-sleeping ways as well as user-facing interfaces that can be called
both from process as well as atomic contexts. Both ends converge in
the same code paths that can use neither spinlocks nor mutexes. The
only reasonable way out is to use SRCU and go mostly lockless. To that
end: we add several SRCU structs in relevant places and use them to
assure consistency between API calls together with atomic reads and
writes of GPIO descriptor flags where it makes sense.
This code has spent several weeks in next and has received several
fixes in the first week or two after which it stabilized nicely. The
GPIO subsystem is now resilient to providers being suddenly unbound.
We managed to also remove the existing character device RW semaphore
and the obsolete global spinlock.
Other than the locking rework we have one new driver (for Chromebook
EC), much appreciated documentation improvements from Kent and the
regular driver improvements, DT-bindings updates and GPIOLIB core
tweaks.
