Linus Torvalds 3455135839 gpio fixes for v6.8-rc1
- revert the changes aiming to use a read-write semaphore to protect the
   list of GPIO devices due to calls to legacy API taking that lock from
   atomic context in old code

 - check the return value of bgpio_init() in gpio-mlxbf3
 - fix node address in the DT bindings example for gpio-xilinx
 - fix signedness bug in gpio-rtd

Merge tag 'gpio-fixes-for-v6.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brgl/linux

Pull gpio fixes from Bartosz Golaszewski:
 "Apart from some regular driver fixes there's a relatively big revert
  of the locking changes that were introduced to GPIOLIB in this merge
  window.

  This is because it turned out that some legacy GPIO interfaces - that
  need to translate a number from the global GPIO numberspace to the
  address of the relevant descriptor, thus running a GPIO device lookup
  and taking the GPIO device list lock - are still used in old code from
  atomic context resulting in "scheduling while atomic" errors.

  I'll try to make the read-only part of the list access entirely
  lockless using SRCU but this will take some time so let's go back to
  the old global spinlock for now.

  Summary:

   - revert the changes aiming to use a read-write semaphore to protect
     the list of GPIO devices due to calls to legacy API taking that
     lock from atomic context in old code

   - fix inverted logic in DEFINE_FREE() for GPIO device references

   - check the return value of bgpio_init() in gpio-mlxbf3

   - fix node address in the DT bindings example for gpio-xilinx

   - fix signedness bug in gpio-rtd

   - fix kernel-doc warnings in gpio-en7523"

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
