None of the files touched here are modules, and they are not
exporting any symbols either -- so there is no need to be including
the module.h. Builds of all the files remains successful.Even kernel/module.c does not need to include it, since it includes
linux/moduleloader.h instead.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

Implement generic OF gpio hooks and thus make device-enabled GPIO chips
(i.e. the ones that have gpio_chip->dev specified) automatically attach
to the OpenFirmware subsystem. Which means that now we can handle I2C and
SPI GPIO chips almost* transparently.* "Almost" because some chips still require platform data, and for these
chips OF-glue is still needed, though with this change the glue will
be much smaller.Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov

The OF gpio infrastructure is great for describing GPIO connections within
the device tree. However, using a GPIO binding still requires changes to
the gpio controller just to add an of_gpio structure. In most cases, the
gpio controller doesn't actually need any special support and the simple
OF gpio mapping function is more than sufficient. Additional, the current
scheme of using of_gpio_chip requires a convoluted scheme to maintain
1:1 mappings between of_gpio_chip and gpio_chip instances.If the struct of_gpio_chip data members were moved into struct gpio_chip,
then it would simplify the processing of OF gpio bindings, and it would
make it trivial to use device tree OF connections on existing gpiolib
controller drivers.This patch eliminates the of_gpio_chip structure and moves the relevant
fields into struct gpio_chip (conditional on CONFIG_OF_GPIO). This move
simplifies the existing code and prepares for adding automatic device tree
support to existing drivers.Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

The driver supports very simple GPIO controllers, that is, when a
controller provides just a 'data' register. Such controllers may be
found in various BCSRs (Board's FPGAs used to control board's
switches, LEDs, chip-selects, Ethernet/USB PHY power, etc).So far we support only 1-byte GPIO banks. Support for other widths may
be implemented when/if needed.p.s.
To avoid "made up" compatible entries (like compatible = "simple-gpio"),
boards must call simple_gpiochip_init() to pass the compatible string.Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov
