Pull ARM updates from Russell King: "Another mixture of changes this time around: - Split XIP linker file from main linker file to make it more maintainable, and various XIP fixes, and clean up a resulting macro. - Decompressor cleanups from Masahiro Yamada - Avoid printing an error for a missing L2 cache - Remove some duplicated symbols in System.map, and move vectors/stubs back into kernel VMA - Various low priority fixes from Arnd - Updates to allow bus match functions to return negative errno values, touching some drivers and the driver core. Greg has acked these changes. - Virtualisation platform udpates form Jean-Philippe Brucker. - Security enhancements from Kees Cook - Rework some Kconfig dependencies and move PSCI idle management code out of arch/arm into drivers/firmware/psci.c - ARM DMA mapping updates, touching media, acked by Mauro. - Fix places in ARM code which should be using virt_to_idmap() so that Keystone2 can work. - Fix Marvell Tauros2 to work again with non-DT boots. - Provide a delay timer for ARM Orion platforms" * 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: (45 commits) ARM: 8546/1: dma-mapping: refactor to fix coherent+cma+gfp=0 ARM: 8547/1: dma-mapping: store buffer information ARM: 8543/1: decompressor: rename suffix_y to compress-y ARM: 8542/1: decompressor: merge piggy.*.S and simplify Makefile ARM: 8541/1: decompressor: drop redundant FORCE in Makefile ARM: 8540/1: decompressor: use clean-files instead of extra-y to clean files ARM: 8539/1: decompressor: drop more unneeded assignments to "targets" ARM: 8538/1: decompressor: drop unneeded assignments to "targets" ARM: 8532/1: uncompress: mark putc as inline ARM: 8531/1: turn init_new_context into an inline function ARM: 8530/1: remove VIRT_TO_BUS ARM: 8537/1: drop unused DEBUG_RODATA from XIP_KERNEL ARM: 8536/1: mm: hide __start_rodata_section_aligned for non-debug builds ARM: 8535/1: mm: DEBUG_RODATA makes no sense with XIP_KERNEL ARM: 8534/1: virt: fix hyp-stub build for pre-ARMv7 CPUs ARM: make the physical-relative calculation more obvious ARM: 8512/1: proc-v7.S: Adjust stack address when XIP_KERNEL ARM: 8411/1: Add default SPARSEMEM settings ARM: 8503/1: clk_register_clkdev: remove format string interface ARM: 8529/1: remove 'i' and 'zi' targets ...

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

2016-03-18T04:05:32Z

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6. There is quite a lot of interesting stuff going on. The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as possible, though I consider things like per-arch as essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed. Core changes: - The gpio_chip is now a *real device*. Until now the gpio chips were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in space outside of the device model. We now finally make GPIO chips devices. The gpio_chip will create a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device struct is kept private. Anything that needs to be kept private from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the gpio_device. - As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on overhead and reduce code lines. A huge slew of patches convert almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this. - Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step of a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device. We take small steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all lines on these devices. We can now discover GPIOs properly from userspace. We still have not come up with a way to actually *use* GPIOs from userspace. - To encourage people to use the character device for the future, we have it always-enabled when using GPIO. The old sysfs ABI is still opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as deprecated. We will keep it around for the foreseeable future, but it will not be extended to cover ever more use cases. Cleanup: - Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture includes. This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and no shared library even existed: just a header file with proper prototypes was provided and all semantics were up to the arch to implement. These patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper device and cleans out leftovers of the old in-kernel API here and there. Still some cruft is left but it's very little now. - There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going on, but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers and the errorpath is sanitized. Some patches for powerpc, blackfin and unicore still drop in. - We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code lines. - MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers. - ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers. New drivers: - WinSystems WS16C48 - Acces 104-DIO-48E - F81866 (a F7188x variant) - Qoric (a MPC8xxx variant) - TS-4800 - SPI serializers (pisosr): simple 74xx shift registers connected to SPI to obtain a dirt-cheap output-only GPIO expander. - Texas Instruments TPIC2810 - Texas Instruments TPS65218 - Texas Instruments TPS65912 - X-Gene (ARM64) standby GPIO controller" * tag 'gpio-v4.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (194 commits) Revert "Share upstreaming patches" gpio: mcp23s08: Fix clearing of interrupt. gpiolib: Fix comment referring to gpio_*() in gpiod_*() gpio: pca953x: Fix pca953x_gpio_set_multiple() on 64-bit gpio: xgene: Fix kconfig for standby GIPO contoller gpio: Add generic serializer DT binding gpio: uapi: use 0xB4 as ioctl() major gpio: tps65912: fix bad merge Revert "gpio: lp3943: Drop pin_used and lp3943_gpio_request/lp3943_gpio_free" gpio: omap: drop dev field from gpio_bank structure gpio: mpc8xxx: Slightly update the code for better readability gpio: mpc8xxx: Remove *read_reg and *write_reg from struct mpc8xxx_gpio_chip gpio: mpc8xxx: Fixup setting gpio direction output gpio: mcp23s08: Add support for mcp23s18 dt-bindings: gpio: altera: Fix altr,interrupt-type property gpio: add driver for MEN 16Z127 GPIO controller gpio: lp3943: Drop pin_used and lp3943_gpio_request/lp3943_gpio_free gpio: timberdale: Switch to devm_ioremap_resource() gpio: ts4800: Add IMX51 dependency gpiolib: rewrite gpiodev_add_to_list ...

ARM: 8524/1: driver cohandle -EPROBE_DEFER from bus_type.match()

2016-02-16T16:28:51Z

Allow implementations of the match() callback in struct bus_type to return errors and if it's -EPROBE_DEFER then queue the device for deferred probing. This is useful to buses such as AMBA in which devices are registered before their matching information can be retrieved from the HW (typically because a clock driver hasn't probed yet).
