+
+gpiolib: better rmmod infrastructure
+
+As long as one or more GPIOs on a gpio chip are used its driver should not be
+unloaded. The existing mechanism (gpiochip_remove failure) doesn't address
+that, since rmmod can no longer be made to fail by having the cleanup code
+report errors. Module usecounts are the solution.
+
+Assuming standard "initialize struct to zero" policies, this change won't
+affect SOC platform drivers. However, drivers for external chips (on I2C and
+SPI busses) should be updated if they can be built as modules.

+gpiolib: dynamic gpio number allocation
+
+If gpio_chip->base is negative during registration, gpiolib performs dynamic
+base allocation. This is useful for devices that aren't always present, such
+as GPIOs on hotplugged devices rather than mainboards. (This behavior was
+previously specified but not implemented.)
+
+To avoid using any numbers that may have been explicitly assigned but not yet
+registered, this dynamic allocation assigns GPIO numbers from the biggest
+number on down, instead of from the smallest on up.
