Subject: [PATCH 0/4] gpio: API boundary cleanups

	Hi Linus, Bartosz,

This patch series contains various API boundary cleanups for gpiolib:
  - The first two patches make two functions private,
  - The last two patches switch the remaining gpiolib exported functions
    from EXPORT_SYMBOL() to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

After this there is only a single GPIO driver function exported with
EXPORT_SYMBOL();

    drivers/gpio/gpio-htc-egpio.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(htc_egpio_get_wakeup_irq);

I believe this symbol was never used upstream, and may be a relic of the
original out-of-tree code the htc-egpio was based on.  I don't know if
there (still) exist out-of-tree users of the symbol.

Thanks for your comments!

Geert Uytterhoeven (4):
  gpio: of: Make of_get_named_gpiod_flags() private
  gpio: of: Make of_gpio_simple_xlate() private
  gpio: of: Switch to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
  gpio: devres: Switch to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
