    Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
     "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.8 kernel cycle.  The big

      and apart from that it's an ordinary, quite busy cycle.  The details
      are below.
    
      The patches are tested in linux-next for some time, patches to other
      subsystem mostly have ACKs.
    
      I got overly ambitious with configureing lines as input for IRQ lines
      but it turns out that some controllers have their interrupt-enable and
      input-enabling in orthogonal settings so the assumption that all IRQ
      lines are input lines does not hold.  Oh well, revert and back to the
      drawing board with that.

       - The big item is of course the completion of the character device
         ABI.  It has now replaced and surpassed the former unmaintainable
         sysfs ABI: we can now hammer (bitbang) individual lines or sets of
         lines and r...
