Pull PCI fix from Bjorn Helgaas: "Sorry this is so late. It's been in -next for over a week, but I forgot to send it on until now. A single fix to the DT binding of the HiSilicon PCIe host support" * tag 'pci-v4.11-fixes-5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci: PCI: hisi: Fix DT binding (hisi-pcie-almost-ecam)

PCI: hisi: Fix DT binding (hisi-pcie-almost-ecam)

2017-04-12T15:46:47Z

The "hisilicon,pcie-almost-ecam" binding goes against the usual DT conventions, and is non-sensical in that it describes the IP based on what it isn't. Fix the DT binding with "hisilicon,hip06-pcie-ecam" and "hisilicon,hip07-pcie-ecam". Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Signed-off-by: Dongdong Liu Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

2017-04-08T18:43:38Z

Pull pin control fix from Linus Walleij: "This late fix for pin control is hopefully the last I send this cycle. The problem was detected early in the v4.11 release cycle and there has been some back and forth on how to solve it. Sadly the proper fix arrives late, but at least not too late. An issue was detected with pin control on the Freescale i.MX after the refactorings for more general group and function handling. We now have the proper fix for this" * tag 'pinctrl-v4.11-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: pinctrl: core: Fix pinctrl_register_and_init() with pinctrl_enable()

Documentation: stable-kernel-rules: fix stable-tag format

2017-04-08T15:33:31Z

A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment). Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion. Fixes: fdc81b7910ad ("stable_kernel_rules: Add clause about specification of kernel versions to patch.")

pinctrl: core: Fix pinctrl_register_and_init() with pinctrl_enable()

2017-04-06T23:08:08Z

Recent pinctrl changes to allow dynamic allocation of pins exposed one more issue with the pinctrl pins claimed early by the controller itself. This caused a regression for IMX6 pinctrl hogs. Before enabling the pin controller driver we need to wait until it has been properly initialized, then claim the hogs, and only then enable it. To fix the regression, split the code into pinctrl_claim_hogs() and pinctrl_enable(). And then let's require that pinctrl_enable() is always called by the pin controller driver when ready after calling pinctrl_register_and_init().

Merge tag 'kvm-arm-for-v4.11-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm

2017-04-05T14:27:47Z

From: Christoffer Dall KVM/ARM Fixes for v4.11-rc6 Fixes include: - Fix a problem with GICv3 userspace save/restore - Clarify GICv2 userspace save/restore ABI - Be more careful in clearing GIC LRs - Add missing synchronization primitive to our MMU handling code

KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Fix GICC_PMR uaccess on GICv3 and clarify ABI

2017-04-04T12:33:59Z

As an oversight, for GICv2, we accidentally export the GICC_PMR register in the format of the GICH_VMCR.VMPriMask field in the lower 5 bits of a word, meaning that userspace must always use the lower 5 bits to communicate with the KVM device and must shift the value left by 3 places to obtain the actual priority mask level. Since GICv3 supports the full 8 bits of priority masking in the ICH_VMCR, we have to fix the value we export when emulating a GICv2 on top of a hardware GICv3 and exporting the emulated GICv2 state to userspace. Take the chance to clarify this aspect of the ABI. Reviewed-by: Marc Zyngier Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall
