Documentation: driver core: remove use of BUS_ATTR

2019-01-08T14:17:45Z

We are getting rid of the "raw" BUS_ATTR() macro, so fix up the documentation to not refer to it anymore. Cc: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.21-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

2018-12-29T04:00:21Z

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij: "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.21 kernel series. Core changes: - Some core changes are already in outside of this pull request as they came through the regulator tree, most notably devm_gpiod_unhinge() that removes devres refcount management from a GPIO descriptor. This is needed in subsystems such as regulators where the regulator core need to take over the reference counting and lifecycle management for a GPIO descriptor. - We dropped devm_gpiochip_remove() and devm_gpio_chip_match() as nothing needs it. We can bring it back if need be. - Add a global TODO so people see where we are going. This helps setting the direction now that we are two GPIO maintainers. - Handle the MMC CD/WP properties in the device tree core. (The bulk of patches activating this code is already merged through the MMC/SD tree.) - Augment gpiochip_request_own_desc() to pass a flag so we as gpiochips can request lines as active low or open drain etc even from ourselves. New drivers: - New driver for Cadence GPIO blocks. - New driver for Atmel SAMA5D2 PIOBU GPIO lines. Driver improvements: - A major refactoring of the PCA953x driver - this driver has been around for ages, and is now modernized to reduce code duplication that has stacked up and is using regmap to read write and cache registers. - Intel drivers are now maintained in a separate tree and start with a round of cleanups and unifications" * tag 'gpio-v4.21-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (99 commits) gpio: sama5d2-piobu: Depend on OF_GPIO gpio: Add Cadence GPIO driver dt-bindings: gpio: Add bindings for Cadence GPIO gpiolib-acpi: remove unused variable 'err', cleans up build warning gpio: mxs: read pin level directly instead of using .get gpio: aspeed: remove duplicated statement gpio: add driver for SAMA5D2 PIOBU pins dt-bindings: arm: atmel: describe SECUMOD usage as a GPIO controller gpio/mmc/of: Respect polarity in the device tree dt-bindings: gpio: rcar: Add r8a774c0 (RZ/G2E) support memory: omap-gpmc: Get the header of the enum ARM: omap1: Fix new user of gpiochip_request_own_desc() gpio: pca953x: Add regmap dependency for PCA953x driver gpio: raspberrypi-exp: decrease refcount on firmware dt node gpiolib: Fix return value of gpio_to_desc() stub if !GPIOLIB gpio: pca953x: Restore registers after suspend/resume cycle gpio: pca953x: Zap single use of pca953x_read_single() gpio: pca953x: Zap ad-hoc reg_output cache gpio: pca953x: Zap ad-hoc reg_direction cache gpio: pca953x: Perform basic regmap conversion ...

gpio: Add devm_gpiod_unhinge()

2018-12-11T01:04:23Z

This adds a function named devm_gpiod_unhinge() that removes the resource management from a GPIO descriptor. I am not sure if this is the best anglosaxon name for the function, no other managed resources have an equivalent currently, but I chose "unhinge" as the closest intuitive thing I could imagine that fits Rusty Russell's API design criterions "the obvious use is the correct one" and "the name tells you how to use it". The idea came out of a remark from Mark Brown that it should be possible to handle over management of a resource from devres to the regulator core, and indeed we can do that.

Documentation: devres: note checking needs when converting

2018-12-06T17:14:01Z

There are a number of cases where conversions to devm_* API have been done but developers forgot that this conversion may imply that return values need to be checked for failure of internal resource handling like allocation. While this should be clear, it does seem to be a relatively common issue with API conversions or maybe "managed" is being misunderstood ? So add a note to make the scope of "managed" clear.

gpio: drop devm_gpiochip_remove()

2018-11-05T07:54:42Z

There is hardly any reason to call devm_gpiochip_remove() because the driver core handles calling gpiochip_remove() automatically. To make it harder to introduce new (and probably unneeded) callers, drop the function. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij

dmaengine: add a new helper dmaenginem_async_device_register

Merge tag 'clk-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux

2017-11-18T04:04:24Z

Pull clk updates from Stephen Boyd: "We have two changes to the core framework this time around. The first being a large change that introduces runtime PM support to the clk framework. Now we properly call runtime PM operations on the device providing a clk when the clk is in use. This helps on SoCs where the clks provided by a device need something to be powered on before using the clks, like power domains or regulators. It also helps power those things down when clks aren't in use. The other core change is a devm API addition for clk providers so we can get rid of a bunch of clk driver remove functions that are just doing of_clk_del_provider(). Outside of the core, we have the usual addition of clk drivers and smattering of non-critical fixes to existing drivers. The biggest diff is support for Mediatek MT2712 and MT7622 SoCs, but those patches really just add a bunch of data. By the way, we're trying something new here where we build the tree up with topic branches. We plan to work this into our workflow so that we don't step on each other's toes, and so the fixes branch can be merged on an as-needed basis. Summary: Core: - runtime PM support for clk providers - devm API for of_clk_add_hw_provider() New Drivers: - Mediatek MT2712 and MT7622 - Renesas R-Car V3M SoC Updates: - runtime PM support for Samsung exynos5433/exynos4412 providers - removal of clkdev aliases on Samsung SoCs - convert clk-gpio to use gpio descriptors - various driver cleanups to match kernel coding style - Amlogic Video Processing Unit VPU and VAPB clks - sigma-delta modulation for Allwinner audio PLLs - Allwinner A83t Display clks - support for the second display unit clock on Renesas RZ/G1E - suspend/resume support for Renesas R-Car Gen3 CPG/MSSR - new clock ids for Rockchip rk3188 and rk3368 SoCs - various 'const' markings on clk_ops structures - RPM clk support on Qualcomm MSM8996/MSM8660 SoCs" * tag 'clk-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clk/linux: (137 commits) clk: stm32h7: fix test of clock config clk: pxa: fix building on older compilers clk: sunxi-ng: a83t: Fix i2c buses bits clk: ti: dra7-atl-clock: fix child-node lookups clk: qcom: common: fix legacy board-clock registration clk: uniphier: fix DAPLL2 clock rate of Pro5 clk: uniphier: fix parent of miodmac clock data clk: hi3798cv200: correct parent mux clock for 'clk_sdio0_ciu' clk: hisilicon: Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in hisi_register_clkgate_sep() clk: hi3660: fix incorrect uart3 clock freqency clk: kona-setup: Delete error messages for failed memory allocations ARC: clk: fix spelling mistake: "configurarion" -> "configuration" clk: cdce925: remove redundant check for non-null parent_name clk: versatile: Improve sizeof() usage clk: versatile: Delete error messages for failed memory allocations clk: ux500: Improve sizeof() usage clk: ux500: Delete error messages for failed memory allocations clk: spear: Delete error messages for failed memory allocations clk: ti: Delete error messages for failed memory allocations clk: mmp: Adjust checks for NULL pointers ...
