Linus Torvalds ea584595fc This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.18 development
cycle:
 
 - Increase the default ARCH_NR_GPIO from 256 to 512. This
   was done to avoid having a custom <asm/gpio.h> header for
   the x86 architecture - GPIO is custom and complicated
   enough as it is already! We want to move to a radix to
   store the descriptors going forward, and finally get rid
   of this fixed array size altogether.
 
 - Endgame patching of the gpio_remove() semantics initiated
   by Abdoulaye Berthe. It is not accepted by the system that
   the removal of a GPIO chip fails during e.g. reboot or
   shutdown, and therefore the return value has now painfully
   been refactored away. For special cases like GPIO expanders
   on a hot-pluggable bus like USB, we may later add some
   gpiochip_try_remove() call, but for the cases we have now,
   return values are moot.
 
 - Some incremental refactoring of the gpiolib core and ACPI
   GPIO library for more descriptor usage.
 
 - Refactor the chained IRQ handler set-up method to handle
   also threaded, nested interrupts and set up the parent IRQ
   correctly. Switch STMPE and TC3589x drivers to use this
   registration method.
 
 - Add a .irq_not_threaded flag to the struct gpio_chip, so
   that also GPIO expanders that block but are still not
   using threaded IRQ handlers.
 
 - New drivers for the ARM64 X-Gene SoC GPIO controller.
 
 - The syscon GPIO driver has been improved to handle the
   "DSP GPIO" found on the TI Keystone 2 SoC:s.
 
 - ADNP driver switched to use gpiolib irqchip helpers.
 
 - Refactor the DWAPB driver to support being instantiated
   from and MFD cell (platform device).
 
 - Incremental feature improvement in the Zynq, MCP23S08,
   DWAPB, OMAP, Xilinx and Crystalcove drivers.
 
 - Various minor fixes.
