  • media/v4.7-2
    media fixes for v4.7-rc7
    
  • acpi-urgent-4.7
    ACPI fixes for v4.7
    
     - Fix a recent regression in the ACPI EC driver introduced by a fix
       of another problem that uncovered a latent code ordering issue in
       the driver (Lv Zheng).
    
     - Revert a recent ACPICA commit that attempted to address a lock
       ordering issue introduced by a previous fix, but caused Dell
       Precision 5510 to fail to boot, revert that previous fix too and
       finally revert the commit that caused the original problem (a
       deadlock in the ACPICA code) to happen (Rafael Wysocki).
    
  • qcom-smd-list-voltage
    regulator: Fix qcom-smd list voltage issues for msm8974
    
    This commit looks like a cleanup but in fact by causing the core to go
    down some simplified code paths for noop regulators it avoids a boot
    time crash for msm8974 platforms which was introduced in v4.7.  It has
    been in -next for a while, the issues in mainline for these platforms
    weren't flagged up to me until yesterday (I think it took some time to
    figure out what was going wrong).

  • v4.7-rc7
    92d21ac7 · Linux 4.7-rc7 ·
    Linux 4.7-rc7
    
  • pwm-modernization
    regulator: Provide a branch for moderninzation of the PWM code
    
    There's a new, improved PWM API which allows a lot of improvements in
    the PWM regulator driver.  Since the bulk of the changes are in the PWM
    API this is being managed in the PWM tree, merge pending regulator API
    changes to allow this to be resolved more easily.
    
  • iommu-fixes-v4.7-rc6
    IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.7-rc6
    
    Two Fixes:
    
    	* Intel VT-d fix for a suspend/resume issue, introduced with the
    	  scalability improvements in this cycle.
    
    	* AMD IOMMU fix for systems that have unity mappings defined. There was
    	  a race where translation got enabled before the unity mappings were
    	  in place. This issue was seen on some HP servers.
    
  • gpio-v4.7-5
    Final (hopefully) GPIO fixes for v4.7:
    - Fix an oops on the Asus Eee PC 1201
    - Revert a patch trying to split GPIO parsing and GPIO configuration
    - Revert a too liberal compile testing thing
    
  • drm-fixes-for-v4.7-rc7
  • pm-4.7-rc7
    Power management fixes for v4.7-rc7
    
     - Fix a recent performance regression on Power systems (powernv
       and pseries) introduced by a core cpuidle commit that decreased
       the precision of the last_residency conversion from nano- to
       microseconds, which should not matter in theory, but turned out
       to play not-so-well with the special "snooze" idle state on Power
       (Shreyas B Prabhu).
    
     - Fix a crash during resume from hibernation on x86-64 caused by
       possible corruption of the kernel text part of page tables in the
       last phase of image restoration exposed by a security-related
       change during the 4.3 development cycle (Rafael Wysocki).
    
  • acpi-4.7-rc7
    ACPI fixes for v4.7-rc7
    
     - Fix a lock ordering issue in ACPICA introduced by a recent commit
       that attempted to fix a deadlock in the dynamic table loading code
       which in turn appeared after changes related to the handling of
       module-level AML also made in this cycle (Lv Zheng).
    
     - Fix a recent regression in the ACPI IRQ management code that may
       cause PCI drivers to be unable to register an IRQ if that IRQ
       happens to be shared with a device on the ISA bus, like the
       parallel port, by reverting one commit entirely and restoring the
       previous behavior in two other places (Sinan Kaya).
    
     - Fix a recent regression in the ACPI AML debugger introduced by
       the commit that removed incorrect usage of IS_ERR_VALUE() from
       multiple places (Lv Zheng).
    
  • mac80211-next-for-davem-2016-07-06
    One more set of new features:
     * beacon report (for radio measurement) support in cfg80211/mac80211
     * hwsim: allow wmediumd in namespaces
     * mac80211: extend 160MHz workaround to CSA IEs
     * mesh: properly encrypt group-addressed privacy action frames
     * mesh: allow setting peer AID
     * first steps for MU-MIMO monitor mode
     * along with various other cleanups and improvements
    
  • mac80211-for-davem-2016-07-06
    Two more fixes:
     * handle allocation failures in new(ish) A-MSDU decapsulation
     * don't leak memory on nl80211 ACL parse errors
    
  • qcom-drivers-for-4.8-2
    Qualcomm ARM Based Driver Updates for v4.8 Part 2
    
    * Fix probe order issue in SCM
    * Add missing qcom_scm_is_available() API
    
  • iio-for-4.8c
    Third set of IIO new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.8 cycle.
    
    New core features
    - Selection of the clock source for IIO timestamps.  This is done per device
      as it makes little sense to have events in one timebase and data timestamped
      on another.  Biggest reason for this is that we currently use a clock
      source which is non monotonic which can result in 'interesting' data sets.
      (Includes export for get_monotonic_corse64 which Thomas Gleixner didn't mind
       in an earlier version.)
    - MAINTAINERS add the git tree to the list for IIO.
    
    New device support + a kind of indirect staging graduation.
    * Broadcom iproc-static-adc
      - new driver
    * mcp4531
      - support for MCP454x, MCP456x, MCP464x and MCP466x potentiometers
    * mpu6050
      - support the IC20608 6 axis motion tracking device
    * st-sensors
      - support the lis3l02dq + drop the lis3l02dq driver from staging.
      The general purpose driver is missing event support, but good to get
      rid of this driver which was rather long in the tooth.
    
    New driver features
    * ak8975
      - Add vid regulator support and refactor handling in general.
      - Allow a delay after enabling regulators.
      - Runtime and system PM.
    * bmg160
      - filter frequency control support.
    * bmp280
      - SPI device support.
      - EOC interrupt support for the BMP085
      - power management support.
      - supply regulator support.
      - reset gpio support
      - dt bindings for reset gpio and regulators.
      - of table to support device tree registration
    * max1363
      - Device tree bindings.
    * mcp4531
      - Device tree bindings.
    * st-pressure
      - temperature channels as part of triggered buffer (previously not due
      probably to alignment issues - see below).
      - lps22hb open drain interrupt support.
      - lps22hb temperature channel support
    
    Cleanups and reworkings.
    * numerous ADC drivers
      - ensure the iio_dev->dev.of_node is set to the parent dev.of_node so
      as to allow client bindings to find the device.
    * ak8975
      - Fix incorrect handling of missing regulator
      - make sure power is down and remove.
    * bmp280
      - read the calibration data only once as it doesn't change.
    * isl29125
      - Use a few macros to make code a touch more readable.
    * mma8452
      - fix a memory leak on error.
      - drop an unecessary bit of return value handling.
    * potentiometer kconfig
      - typo fix.
    * st-pressure
      - drop some uninformative default assignments of elements of the channel
      array structure (aids readability).
    * st-sensors
      - Harden interrupt handling considerably.  These are actually all using
      level interrupts, but at least two known boards have them wired to
      edge only interrupt chips.  Hence a slightly interesting bit of handling
      is needed in which we first allow for the easy option (level triggered) and
      secondly check the status registers before reenabling edge interrupts and
      fall back to a tight loop in the thread until we successfully clear the
      interrupt.  No harm is done if we never succeed in doing so.  It's an odd
      patch that has been through a lot of revisions to reach a consensus on how
      to handle what is basically broken hardware (which the previous defaults
      allowed to kind of work).
      - Fix alignment to defined storagebytes boundaries.
      - Ensure alignment of power of 2 byte boundaries.  This has always in theory
      been part of the ABI of IIO, but we missed a few that snuck in that need
      fixing.  The effect was minor as they were only followed by timestamp
      channels which were correctly aligned,
      - Add some docs to explain the gain calculations.

    parsing in the probe logic.
