Linus Torvalds ea584595fc Merge tag 'gpio-v3.18-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio
Pull GPIO changes from Linus Walleij:
 "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 eg 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"

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.

Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.

In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.

Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
EPROM.

In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
and class.
