Merge tag 'gpio-v4.13-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.13 series.

  Some administrativa:

  I have a slew of 8250 serial patches and the new IOT2040 serial+GPIO
  driver coming in through this tree, along with a whole bunch of Exar
  8250 fixes. These are ACKed by Greg and also hit drivers/platform/*
  where they are ACKed by Andy Shevchenko.

  Speaking about drivers/platform/* there is also a bunch of ACPI stuff
  coming through that route, again ACKed by Andy.

  The MCP23S08 changes are coming in here as well. You already have the
  commits in your tree, so this is just a result of sharing an immutable
  branch between pin control and GPIO.

  Core:
   - Export add/remove for lookup tables so that modules can export GPIO
     descriptor tables.
   - Handle GPIO sleep states: it is now possible to flag that a GPIO
     line may loose its state during suspend/resume of the system to
     save power. This is used in the Wolfson Micro Arizona driver.
   - ACPI-based GPIO was tightened up a lot around the edges.
   - Use bitmap_fill() to speed up a loop.

  New drivers:
   - Exar XRA1403 SPI-based GPIO.
   - MVEBU driver now supports Armada 7K and 8K.
   - LP87565 PMIC GPIO.
   - Renesas R-CAR R8A7743 (RZ/G1M).
   - The new IOT2040 8250 serial/GPIO also comes in through this
     changeset.

  Substantial driver changes:
   - Seriously fix the Exar 8250 GPIO portions to work.
   - The MCP23S08 was moved out to a pin control driver.
   - Convert MEVEBU to use regmap for register access.
   - Drop Vulcan support from the Broadcom driver.
   - Serious cleanup and improvement of the mockup driver, giving us a
     better test coverage.

  Misc:
   - Lots of janitorial clean up.
   - A bunch of documentation fixes"

@@ -156,3 +156,68 @@ pointed to by its first argument.  That should be done in the driver's .probe()
 routine.  On removal, the driver should unregister its GPIO mapping table by
 calling acpi_dev_remove_driver_gpios() on the ACPI device object where that
 table was previously registered.
+
+Using the _CRS fallback
+-----------------------
+
+If a device does not have _DSD or the driver does not create ACPI GPIO
+mapping, the Linux GPIO framework refuses to return any GPIOs. This is
+because the driver does not know what it actually gets. For example if we
+have a device like below:
+
+  Device (BTH)
+  {
+      Name (_HID, ...)
+
+      Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
+          GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone,
+                  "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {15}
+          GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone,
+                  "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {27}
+      })
+  }
+
+The driver might expect to get the right GPIO when it does:
+
+  desc = gpiod_get(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW);
+
+but since there is no way to know the mapping between "reset" and
+the GpioIo() in _CRS desc will hold ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).
+
+The driver author can solve this by passing the mapping explictly
+(the recommended way and documented in the above chapter).
+
+The ACPI GPIO mapping tables should not contaminate drivers that are not
+knowing about which exact device they are servicing on. It implies that
+the ACPI GPIO mapping tables are hardly linked to ACPI ID and certain
+objects, as listed in the above chapter, of the device in question.
+
+Getting GPIO descriptor
+-----------------------
+
+There are two main approaches to get GPIO resource from ACPI:
+        desc = gpiod_get(dev, connection_id, flags);
+        desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, connection_id, index, flags);
+
+We may consider two different cases here, i.e. when connection ID is
+provided and otherwise.
+
+Case 1:
+        desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags);
+        desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, "non-null-connection-id", index, flags);
+
+Case 2:
+        desc = gpiod_get(dev, NULL, flags);
+        desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, index, flags);
+
+Case 1 assumes that corresponding ACPI device description must have
+defined device properties and will prevent to getting any GPIO resources
+otherwise.
+
+Case 2 explicitly tells GPIO core to look for resources in _CRS.
+
+Be aware that gpiod_get_index() in cases 1 and 2, assuming that there
+are two versions of ACPI device description provided and no mapping is
+present in the driver, will return different resources. That's why a
+certain driver has to handle them carefully as explained in previous
+chapter.
