Pull MTD fix from Brian Norris:
 "One MTD fix for v4.6-rc4:

  In the v4.4 cycle, we relaxed the requirement for assigning
  mtd-&gt;owner, but we didn't remove this error case.  It's hit only
  by drivers that are both:

   (a) using nand_scan() directly
  and
   (b) built as modules

  We haven't seen explicit complaints about this (most use cases don't
  fit one or both of the above), but we should definitely not be
  BUG()'ing here"

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Since commit 807f16d4db95 ("mtd: core: set some defaults
when dev.parent is set"), it's now legal for drivers
to call nand_scan and nand_scan_ident without setting
mtd.owner.

Drop the check and while at it remove the BUG() abuse.

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 &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt; 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 &lt;asm/gpio.h&gt;
     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"

<id>urn:sha1:c76b78d8ec05a247975542061df3f1321783f98d</id>
<content type='text'>
The Qualcomm NAND controller is found in SoCs like IPQ806x, MSM7xx,
MDM9x15 series.

It exists as a sub block inside the IPs EBI2 (External Bus Interface 2)
and QPIC (Qualcomm Parallel Interface Controller). These IPs provide a
broader interface for external slow peripheral devices such as LCD and
NAND/NOR flash memory or SRAM like interfaces.

We add support for the NAND controller found within EBI2. For the SoCs
of our interest, we only use the NAND controller within EBI2. Therefore,
it's safe for us to assume that the NAND controller is a standalone block
within the SoC.

The controller supports 512B, 2kB, 4kB and 8kB page 8-bit and 16-bit NAND
flash devices. It contains a HW ECC block that supports BCH ECC (4, 8 and
16 bit correction/step) and RS ECC(4 bit correction/step) that covers main
and spare data. The controller contains an internal 512 byte page buffer
to which we read/write via DMA. The EBI2 type NAND controller uses ADM DMA
for register read/write and data transfers. The controller performs page
reads and writes at a codeword/step level of 512 bytes. It can support up
to 2 external chips of different configurations.

The driver prepares register read and write configuration descriptors for
each codeword, followed by data descriptors to read or write data from the
controller's internal buffer. It uses a single ADM DMA channel that we get
via dmaengine API. The controller requires 2 ADM CRCIs for command and
data flow control. These are passed via DT.

The ecc layout used by the controller is syndrome like, but we can't use
the standard syndrome ecc ops because of several reasons. First, the amount
of data bytes covered by ecc isn't same in each step. Second, writing to
free oob space requires us writing to the entire step in which the oob
lies. This forces us to create our own ecc ops.

One more difference is how the controller accesses the bad block marker.
The controller ignores reading the marker when ECC is enabled. ECC needs
to be explicity disabled to read or write to the bad block marker. The
nand_bbt helpers library hence can't access BBMs for the controller.
For now, we skip the creation of BBT and populate chip-&gt;block_bad and
chip-&gt;block_markbad helpers instead.

<content type='text'>
One of the arguments passed to struct nand_chip's block_bad op is
'getchip', which, if true, is supposed to get and select the nand device,
and later unselect and release the device.

This op is intended to be replaceable by drivers. The drivers shouldn't
be responsible for selecting/unselecting chip. Like other ops, the chip
should already be selected before the block_bad op is called.

Remove the getchip argument from the block_bad op and
nand_block_checkbad. Move the chip selection to nand_block_isbad, since it
is the only caller to nand_block_checkbad which requires chip selection.

Modify nand_block_bad (the default function for the op) such that it
doesn't select the chip.

Remove the getchip argument from the bad_block funcs in cafe_nand,
diskonchip and docg4 drivers.
