Merge tag 'gpio-v5.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v5.6 kernel cycle. This is a pretty calm cycle so far, nothing special going on really. Some more changes will come in from the irqchip and pin control trees. I also deleted an orphan include file for FMC that was dangling since subsystem was removed. Core changes: - Document the usecases for the kernelspace vs userspace handling of GPIOs. - Handle MSI (message signalled interrupts) properly in the core hierarchical irqdomain code. - Fix a rare race condition while initializing the descriptor array. New drivers: - Xylon LogiCVC GPIO driver. - WDC934x GPIO controller driver. Driver improvements: - Implemented suspend/resume in the Tegra driver. - MPC8xx edge detection fixup. - Properly convert ThunderX to use hierarchical irqdomain with GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP on top of the revert of the previous buggy switchover. This time it works (hopefully). Misc: - Drop a FMC remnant file <linux/ipmi-fru.h> - A slew of fixes" * tag 'gpio-v5.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (48 commits) MAINTAINERS: Replace Tien Hock Loh as Altera PIO maintainer gpiolib: hold gpio devices lock until ->descs array is initialised gpio: aspeed-sgpio: fixed typos gpio: mvebu: clear irq in edge cause register before unmask edge irq gpiolib: Lower verbosity when allocating hierarchy irq gpiolib: Remove duplicated function gpio_do_set_config() gpio: Fix the no return statement warning gpio: wcd934x: Add support to wcd934x gpio controller gpiolib: remove set but not used variable 'config' gpio: vx855: fixed a typo gpio: mockup: sort headers alphabetically gpio: mockup: update the license tag gpio: Remove the unused flags gpiolib: Set lockdep class for hierarchical irq domains gpio: thunderx: Switch to GPIOLIB_IRQCHIP gpiolib: Add the support for the msi parent domain gpiolib: Add support for the irqdomain which doesn't use irq_fwspec as arg gpio: Add use guidance documentation dt-bindings: gpio: wcd934x: Add bindings for gpio gpio: altera: change to platform_get_irq_optional to avoid false-positive error ...

+=========================
+Using GPIO Lines in Linux
+=========================
+
+The Linux kernel exists to abstract and present hardware to users. GPIO lines
+as such are normally not user facing abstractions. The most obvious, natural
+and preferred way to use GPIO lines is to let kernel hardware drivers deal
+with them.
+
+For examples of already existing generic drivers that will also be good
+examples for any other kernel drivers you want to author, refer to
+:doc:`drivers-on-gpio`
+
+For any kind of mass produced system you want to support, such as servers,
+laptops, phones, tablets, routers, and any consumer or office or business goods
+using appropriate kernel drivers is paramount. Submit your code for inclusion
+in the upstream Linux kernel when you feel it is mature enough and you will get
+help to refine it, see :doc:`../../process/submitting-patches`.
+
+In Linux GPIO lines also have a userspace ABI.
+
+The userspace ABI is intended for one-off deployments. Examples are prototypes,
+factory lines, maker community projects, workshop specimen, production tools,
+industrial automation, PLC-type use cases, door controllers, in short a piece
+of specialized equipment that is not produced by the numbers, requiring
+operators to have a deep knowledge of the equipment and knows about the
+software-hardware interface to be set up. They should not have a natural fit
+to any existing kernel subsystem and not be a good fit for an operating system,
+because of not being reusable or abstract enough, or involving a lot of non
+computer hardware related policy.
+
+Applications that have a good reason to use the industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem
+from userspace will likely be a good fit for using GPIO lines from userspace as
+well.
+
+Do not under any circumstances abuse the GPIO userspace ABI to cut corners in
+any product development projects. If you use it for prototyping, then do not
+productify the prototype: rewrite it using proper kernel drivers. Do not under
+any circumstances deploy any uniform products using GPIO from userspace.
+
+The userspace ABI is a character device for each GPIO hardware unit (GPIO chip).
+These devices will appear on the system as ``/dev/gpiochip0`` thru
+``/dev/gpiochipN``. Examples of how to directly use the userspace ABI can be
+found in the kernel tree ``tools/gpio`` subdirectory.
+
+For structured and managed applications, we recommend that you make use of the
+libgpiod_ library. This provides helper abstractions, command line utlities
+and arbitration for multiple simultaneous consumers on the same GPIO chip.
