    Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
     "Here is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.4 development cycle.
    
      The only changes hitting outside drivers/gpio are in the pin control
      subsystem and these seem to have settled nicely in linux-next.
    
      Development mistakes and catfights are nicely documented in the
      reverts as you can see.  The outcome of the ABI fight is that we're
      working on a chardev ABI for GPIO now, where hope to show results for
      the v4.5 kernel.
    
      Summary of changes:
    
      GPIO core:
       - Define and handle flags for open drain/open collector and open
         source/open emitter, also know as "single-ended" configurations.
       - Generic request/free operations that handle calling out to the
         (optional) pin control backend.
       - Some refactoring related to an ABI change that did not happen, yet
         provide useful.
       - Added a real-time compliance checklist.  Many GPIO chips have
         irqchips, and need to think this over with the RT patches going
         upstream.
       - Restructure, fix and clean up Kconfig menus a bit.
    
      New drivers:
       - New driver for AMD Promony.
       - New driver for ACCES 104-IDIO-16, a port-mapped I/O card,
         ISA-style.  Very retro.
    
      Subdriver changes:
       - OMAP changes to handle real time requirements.
       - Handle trigger types for edge and level IRQs on PL061 properly.  As
         this hardware is very common it needs to set a proper example for
         others to follow.
       - Some container_of() cleanups.
       - Delete the unused MSM driver in favor of the driver that is
         embedded inside the pin control driver.
       - Cleanup of the ath79 GPIO driver used by many, many OpenWRT router
         targets.
       - A consolidated IT87xx driver replacing the earlier very specific
         IT8761e driver.
       - Handle the TI TCA9539 in the PCA953x driver.  Also handle ACPI
         devices in this subdriver.
       - Drop xilinx arch dependencies as these FPGAs seem to profilate over
         a few different architectures.  MIPS and ARM come to mind"
