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"

We have +repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and +the greater Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness, +stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development +model and shut their users off from the expertise of the Linux +community. Vendors that provide closed-source kernel modules force their +customers to give up key Linux advantages or choose new vendors. +Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost savings and +shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors to +adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source +kernel code. + +We speak only for ourselves, and not for any company we might work for +today, have in the past, or will in the future. + + - Dave Airlie + - Nick Andrew + - Jens Axboe + - Ralf Baechle + - Felipe Balbi + - Ohad Ben-Cohen + - Muli Ben-Yehuda + - Jiri Benc + - Arnd Bergmann + - Thomas Bogendoerfer + - Vitaly Bordug + - James Bottomley + - Josh Boyer + - Neil Brown + - Mark Brown + - David Brownell + - Michael Buesch + - Franck Bui-Huu + - Adrian Bunk + - François Cami + - Ralph Campbell + - Luiz Fernando N.
