[PATCH v4 0/4] Add support for Awinic AW86938 haptic driver

[Griffin Kroah-Hartman]

Add devicetree bindings and driver support for the AW86938 haptic driver
chip, and add it to the devicetree for the Fairphone (Gen. 6) smartphone.

This haptics chip is quite similar to the AW86927, and shares many core
features but has some notable differences, including some extra
features.

[PATCH v4 1/4] Input: aw86927 - respect vibration magnitude levels

[Griffin Kroah-Hartman]

Previously the gain value was hardcoded. Take the magnitude passed via
the input API and configure the gain register accordingly.

[PATCH v4 2/4] dt-bindings: input: awinic,aw86927: Add Awinic AW86938

[Griffin Kroah-Hartman]

Add bindings for the Awinic AW86938 haptic chip which can be found in
smartphones. These two chips require a similar devicetree configuration,
but have a register layout that's not 100% compatible.
Still, because chip model is fully detectable via ID register, these
chips can be documnented in the same file.

[PATCH v4 3/4] Input: aw86938 - add driver for Awinic AW86938

[Griffin Kroah-Hartman]

Add support for the I2C-connected Awinic AW86938 LRA haptic driver.

The AW86938 has a similar but slightly different register layout. In
particular, the boost mode register values.
The AW86938 also has some extra features that aren't implemented
in this driver yet.
