Merge tag 'pinctrl-v7.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrlgrafted
Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"Core changes:
- Use the non-blocking mux_state_try_select() in the generic MUX pin
control back-end
- Free pin maps on pinctrl_generic_to_map() failure in the core
helpers
New hardware pin control:
- Qualcomm Maili TLMM SoC, PMG1110 PMIC, and Eliza LPASS LPI TLMM SoC
(this is for the low power audio, LPASS = Low Power Audio SubSystem
portions)
- Upboard support on top of the Intel pin controller
- Apple T6030 and T6031 support (just compatible strings)
- Samsung Exynos 8855 SoC
- Mediatek MT6858 SoC
- Rockchip RK3308B and RV1106 SoCs
- Airoha EN7523 and AN7563 SoCs
Improvements:
- Qualcomm TLMM GPIOs are unconditionally marked as wakeup capable
- Qualcomm improvements on top of the Qualcomm PDC (power domain
controller) irqchip improvements from tglx:s tree
- Qualcomm IPQ806x and IPQ9650 non-urgent pin grop fixups
- The NPCM8xx driver has been put into shape fixing many pin and
group definitions
- Some non-urgent Tegra 264 pin assignments are fixed up
- Some non-urgent fixups to Airoha AN7581 and AN7583 registers and
pin assignments, missing features etc"

The initial +usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where +ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU +as it would consume too much of the kernel address space. + +A mapping object is created during driver initialization using:: + + struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base, + unsigned long size) + +'base' is the bus address of the region to be made +mappable, while 'size' indicates how large a mapping region to +enable. Both are in bytes. + +This _wc variant provides a mapping which may only be used with +io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(), io_mapping_map_local_wc() or +io_mapping_map_wc(). + +With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either temporarily +or long term, depending on the requirements. Of course, temporary maps are +more efficient. They come in two flavours:: + + void *io_mapping_map_local_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping, + unsigned long offset) + + void *io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping, + unsigned long offset) + +'offset' is the offset within the defined mapping region. Accessing +addresses beyond the region specified in the creation function yields +undefined results. Using an offset which is not page aligned yields an +undefined result. The return value points to a single page in CPU address +space. + +This _wc variant returns a write-combining map to the page and may only be +used with mappings created by io_mapping_create_wc() + +Temporary mappings are only valid in the context of the caller. The mapping +is not guaranteed to be globally visible. + +io_mapping_map_local_wc() has a side effect on X86 32bit as it disables +migration to make the mapping code work. No caller can rely on this side +effect. + +io_mapping_map_atomic_wc() has the side effect of disabling preemption and +pagefaults. Don't use in new code.
