![]() kernel cycle: Core: - The pin control Kconfig entry PINCTRL is now turned into a menuconfig option. This obviously has the implication of making the subsystem menu visible in menuconfig. This is happening because of two things: - Intel have started to deploy and depend on pin controllers in a way that is affecting users directly. This happens on the highly integrated laptop chipsets named after geographical places: baytrail, broxton, cannonlake, cedarfork, cherryview, denverton, geminilake, lewisburg, merrifield, sunrisepoint... It started a while back and now it is ever more evident that this is crucial infrastructure for x86 laptops and not an embedded obscurity anymore. Users need to be aware. - Pin control expanders on I2C and SPI that are arch-agnostic. Currently Semtech SX150X and Microchip MCP28x08 but more are expected. Users will have to be able to configure these in directly for their set-up. - Just go and select GPIOLIB now that we made sure that GPIOLIB is a very vanilla subsystem. Do not depend on it, if we need it, select it. - Exposing the pin control subsystem in menuconfig uncovered a bunch of obscure bugs that are now hopefully fixed, all more or less pertaining to Blackfin. - Unified namespace for cross-calls between pin control and GPIO. - New support for clock skew/delay generic DT bindings and generic pin config options for this. - Minor documentation improvements. Various: - The Renesas SH-PFC pin controller has evolved a lot. It seems Renesas are churning out new SoCs by the minute. - A bunch of non-critical fixes for the Rockchip driver. - Improve the use of library functions instead of open coding. - Support the MCP28018 variant in the MCP28x08 driver. - Static constifying. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJaDV9TAAoJEEEQszewGV1zf0AQAIlHxM8B0mJPOFv7WdPIHs8j GSGAPv0rPobdgZI8vegosIQmAiry5jjaHP6VGOrK5n8FRxfBLd89NLT7dgK7J9Yx tYcQRQn1/MqZKaIjWWgTes3okEr9s77Of3aWkA9gyvBjTGoo2hu8BTwZOYuPrIPP aYcI7VR0VbTe7FQR1QRtKBXnBTXfznF1j5ckKNY4ahgIPcUgxyh6EA1E61rDorLK gvwwzoBqIKQAcnapgarF7YOJjoE0i7ZoSlhL0b0nvhcgolyK/zLN4xujLcTGPeTJ hQwe7LhxtvtmJmu0jRMuetDLFT52d6eq8ttyFBMULkgRzcgMv6GZZXUy4k92t7ZT F2DRbAjyAlxkhUhQ8BORzEXwfWYITt1M49jWQqugdDR2fV/MAlF8motOkVBl73iS zHIQ/ZDcAD+PlwTHiDyDOUxj7qyDs2MkTLTzfXc0koOQZOqskDHQ1dIf3UzLzZ9S /dx339/ejwP73E0lzOsanhianfonqWZ3Apn3aRG18uqCt2+eHySWpxyRANuOlBZI czERg+47wDfng24xyuH0EElgbS5G0Bt1lT5zLVLdFEvoLmcBHVKqaCkiuvYXOjVM GyMRvQPiJbhT6qiJ+aSP8t/utl1aUhXQLtrUnXxu8qv9tQ6jgmqiQd9855Uvrzb0 ZR2wyNc2jtWzwCfrkWjt =kj/b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'pinctrl-v4.15-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.15 kernel cycle: Core: - The pin control Kconfig entry PINCTRL is now turned into a menuconfig option.
