Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.1 development cycle: - A new GPIO hogging mechanism has been added. This can be used on boards that want to drive some GPIO line high, low, or set it as input on boot and then never touch it again. For some embedded systems this is bliss and simplifies things to a great extent. - Some API cleanup and closure: gpiod_get_array() and gpiod_put_array() has been added to get and put GPIOs in bulk as was possible with the non-descriptor API. - Encapsulate cross-calls to the pin control subsystem in <linux/gpio/driver.h>. Now this should be the only header any GPIO driver needs to include or something is wrong. Cleanups restricting drivers to this include are welcomed if tested. - Sort the GPIO Kconfig and split it into submenus, as it was becoming and unstructured, illogical ...
