GPIO core:
- teach gpiolib to work with software nodes for HW description
- remove ARCH_NR_GPIOS treewide as we no longer impose any limit on the number
of GPIOS since the allocation became entirely dynamic
- add support for HW quirks for Cirrus CS42L56 codec, Marvell NFC controller,
Freescale PCIe and Ethernet controller, Himax LCDs and Mediatek mt2701
- refactor OF quirk code
- some general refactoring of the OF and ACPI code, adding new helpers, minor
tweaks and fixes, making fwnode usage consistent etc.
GPIO uAPI:
- fix an issue where the user-space can trigger a NULL-pointer dereference in
the kernel by opening a device file, forcing a driver unbind and then calling
one of the syscalls on the associated file descriptor
New drivers:
- add gpio-latch: a new GPIO multiplexer based on latches connected to other
GPIOs
Driver updates:
- convert i2c GPIO expanders to using .probe_new()
- drop the gpio-sta2x11 driver
- factor out common code for the ACCES IDIO-16 family of controllers and use
this new library wherever applicable in drivers
- add DT support to gpio-hisi
- allow building gpio-davinci as a module and increase its maxItems property
- add support for a new model to gpio-pca9570
- other minor changes to various drivers

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
