Merge tag 'v4.6-rc3' into drm-intel-next-queued
Linux 4.6-rc3 Backmerge requested by Chris Wilson to make his patches apply cleanly. Tiny conflict in vmalloc.c with the (properly acked and all) patch in drm-intel-next: commit 4da56b99d99e5a7df2b7f11e87bfea935f909732 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Mon Apr 4 14:46:42 2016 +0100 mm/vmap: Add a notifier for when we run out of vmap address space and Linus' tree.

+Description:
+ The character device files /dev/gpiochip* are the interface
+ between GPIO chips and userspace.
+
+ The ioctl(2)-based ABI is defined and documented in
+ [include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h>.
+
+ The following file operations are supported:
+
+ open(2)
+ Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
+
+ ioctl(2)
+ Initiate various actions.
+ See the inline documentation in [include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h>
+ for descriptions of all ioctls.
+
+ close(2)
+ Stops and free up the I/O contexts that was associated
+ with the file descriptor.
