General support for state persistence is added to gpiolib with the introduction of a new pinconf parameter to propagate the request to hardware. The existing persistence support for sleep is adapted to include hardware support if the GPIO driver provides it. Persistence continues to be enabled by default; in-kernel consumers can opt out, but userspace (currently) does not have a choice. The *_SLEEP_MAY_LOSE_VALUE and *_SLEEP_MAINTAIN_VALUE symbols are renamed, dropping the SLEEP prefix to reflect that the concept is no longer sleep-specific. I feel that renaming to just *_MAY_LOSE_VALUE could initially be misinterpreted, so I've further changed the symbols to *_TRANSITORY and *_PERSISTENT to address this. The sysfs interface is modified only to keep consistency with the chardev interface in enforcing persistence for userspace exports.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
