- 180 deg rotation support (Ville & Sonika Jindal)

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.17 development
cycle, and this time we got a lot of action going on and
it will continue:

- The core GPIO library implementation has been split up in
  three different files:
  - gpiolib.c for the latest and greatest and shiny GPIO
    library code using GPIO descriptors only
  - gpiolib-legacy.c for the old integer number space API
    that we are phasing out gradually
  - gpiolib-sysfs.c for the sysfs interface that we are
    not entirely happy with, but has to live on for
    ABI compatibility

- Add a flags argument to *gpiod_get* functions, with some
  backward-compatibility macros to ease transitions. We
  should have had the flags there from the beginning it
  seems, now we need to clean up the mess. There is a plan
  on how to move forward here devised by Alexandre Courbot
  and Mark Brown.

- Split off a special <linux/gpio/machine.h> header for the
  board gpio table registration, as per example from the
  regulator subsystem.

- Start to kill off the return value from gpiochip_remove()
  by removing the __must_check attribute and removing all
  checks inside the drivers/gpio directory. The rationale
  is: well what were we supposed to do if there is an error
  code? Not much: print an error message. And gpiolib already
  does that. So make this function return void eventually.

- Some cleanups of hairy gpiolib code, make some functions
  not to be used outside the library private and make sure
  they are not exported, remove gpiod_lock/unlock_as_irq()
  as the existing function is for driver-internal use and
  fine as it is, delete gpio_ensure_requested() as it is
  not meaningful anymore.

- Support the GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW flag from gpio_request_one()
  function calls, which is logical since this is already
  supported when referencing GPIOs from e.g. device trees.

- Switch STMPE, intel-mid, lynxpoint and ACPI (!) to use
  the gpiolib irqchip helpers cutting down on GPIO irqchip
  boilerplate a bit more.

- New driver for the Zynq GPIO block.

- The usual incremental improvements around a bunch of
  drivers.

- Janitorial syntactic and semantic cleanups by Jingoo Han,
  and Rickard Strandqvist especially.

sound updates for 3.17-rc1

There've been many updates in ASoC side at this time, especially the
framework enhancement for multiple CODECs on a single DAI and more
componentization works.  The only major change in ALSA core is the
addition of timestamp type in sw_params field.  This should behave in
backward compatible way.  Other than that, there are lots of small
changes and new drivers in wide range, including a large code cut in
HD-audio driver for deprecated static quirks.  Some highlights are
below:

ALSA Core:
- Add the new timestamp type field to sw_params to choose
  MONOTONIC_RAW type

HD-audio:
- Continued conversion to standard printk macros, generic code
  cleanups
- Removal of obsoleted static quirk codes for Conexant and C-Media
  codecs
- Fixups for HP Envy TS, Dell XPS 15, HP and Dell mute/mic LED,
  Gigabyte BXBT-2807 mobo
- Intel Braswell support

ASoC:
- Support for multiple CODECs attached to a single DAI, enabling
  systems with for example multiple DAC/speaker drivers on a single
 link, contributed by Benoit Cousson based on work from Misael Lopez
 Cruz
- Support for byte controls larger than 256 bytes based on the use of
  TLVs contributed by Omair Mohammed Abdullah
- More componentisation work from Lars-Peter Clausen
- The remainder of the conversions of CODEC drivers to params_width()
  by Mark Brown
- Drivers for Cirrus Logic CS4265, Freescale i.MX ASRC blocks, Realtek
  RT286 and RT5670, Rockchip RK3xxx I2S controllers and Texas
  Instruments TAS2552
- Lots of updates and fixes, especially to the DaVinci, Intel,
  Freescale, Realtek, and rcar drivers

regulator: Updates for v3.17

A couple of nice new features this month, the ability to map regulators
in order to allow voltage control by external coprocessors is something
people have been asking for for a long time.

 - Improved support for switch only "regulators", allowing current state
   to be read from the parent regulator but no setting.
 - Support for obtaining the register access method used to set
   voltages, for use in systems which can offload control of this to a
   coprocessor (typically for DVFS).
 - Support for Active-Semi AC8846, Dialog DA9211 and Texas Instruments
   TPS65917.
