+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gpio: gpio-cascade: add generic GPIO cascade
+
+Adds support for building cascades of GPIO lines. That is, it allows
+setups when there is one upstream line and multiple cascaded lines, out
+of which one can be chosen at a time. The status of the upstream line
+can be conveyed to the selected cascaded line or, vice versa, the status
+of the cascaded line can be conveyed to the upstream line.
+
+A multiplexer is being used to select, which cascaded GPIO line is being
+used at any given time.
+
+At the moment only input direction is supported. In future it should be
+possible to add support for output direction, too.

+---
+v7 -> v8:
+ - rearrange members in struct gpio_cascade
+ - cosmetic changes in file header and in one function declaration
+ - added Reviewed-by tags by Linus and Andy
+v6 -> v7:
+ - In Kconfig add info about module name
+ - adhere to new convention that allows lines longer than 80 chars
+ - use dev_probe_err with upstream gpio line too
+ - refactor for cleaner exit of probe function.
+v5 -> v6:
+ - In Kconfig, remove dependency to OF_GPIO and select only MULTIPLEXER
+ - refactor code preferring one-liners
+ - clean up prints, removing them from success-path.
+ - don't explicitly set gpio_chip.of_node as it's done in the GPIO library
+ - use devm_gpiochip_add_data instead of gpiochip_add
+v4 -> v5:
+ - renamed gpio-mux-input -> gpio-cascade. refactored code accordingly
+   here and there and changed to use new bindings and compatible string
+   - ambigious and vague 'pin' was rename to 'upstream_line'
+ - dropped Tested-by and Reviewed-by due to changes in bindings
+ - dropped Reported-by suggested by an automatic bot as it was not really
+   appropriate to begin with
+ - functionally it's the same as v4
+v3 -> v4:
+ - Changed author email
+ - Included Tested-by and Reviewed-by from Drew
+v2 -> v3:
+ - use managed device resources
+ - update Kconfig description
+v1 -> v2:
+ - removed .owner from platform_driver as per test bot's instruction
+ - added MODULE_AUTHOR, MODULE_DESCRIPTION, MODULE_LICENSE
+ - added gpio_mux_input_get_direction as it's recommended for all chips
+ - removed because this is input only chip: gpio_mux_input_set_value
+ - removed because they are not needed for input/output only chips:
+     gpio_mux_input_direction_input
+     gpio_mux_input_direction_output
+ - fixed typo in an error message
+ - added info message about successful registration
+ - removed can_sleep flag as this does not sleep while getting GPIO value
+   like I2C or SPI do
+ - Updated description in Kconfig

++	  Say yes here to enable support for generic GPIO cascade.
++
++	  This allows building one-to-many cascades of GPIO lines using
++	  different types of multiplexers readily available. At the
++	  moment only input lines are supported.
++
++	  To build the driver as a module choose 'm' and the resulting module
++	  will be called 'gpio-cascade'.
