Linux 4.6-rc3

GPIO fixes for the V4.6 series:

Core fixes:
- Defer GPIO device setup until after gpiolib is initialized.
  It turns out that a few very tightly integrated GPIO platform
  drivers initialize so early (befor core_initcall()) so that
  the gpiolib isn't even initialized itself. That limits what
  the library can do, and we cannot reference uninitialized
  fields until later. Defer some of the initialization until
  right after the gpiolib is initialized in these (rare) cases.
- As a consequence: do not use devm_* resources when allocating
  the states in the initial set-up of the gpiochip.

Driver fixes:
- In ACPI retrieveal: ignore GpioInt when looking for output
  GPIOs.
- Fix legacy builds on the PXA without a backing pin controller.
- Use correct datatype on pca953x register writes.

Power management and ACPI material for v4.6-rc3

 - intel_pstate fixes for two issues exposed by the recent switch
   over from using timers and for one issue introduced during the
   4.4 cycle plus new comments describing data structures used by
   the driver (Rafael Wysocki, Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - intel_idle fixes related to CPU offline/online (Richard Cochran).

 - intel_idle support (new CPU IDs and state definitions mostly) for
   Skylake-X and Kabylake processors (Len Brown).

 - PCC mailbox driver fix for an out-of-bounds memory access that
   may cause the kernel to panic() (Shanker Donthineni).

 - New (missing) CPU ID for one apparently overlooked Haswell model
   in the Intel RAPL power capping driver (Srinivas Pandruvada).

 - Fix for the PM core's wakeup IRQs framework to make it work after
   wakeup settings reconfiguration from sysfs (Grygorii Strashko).

 - Runtime PM documentation update to make it describe what needs
   to be done during device removal more precisely (Krzysztof
   Kozlowski).

 - Stale comment removal cleanup in the cpufreq-dt driver (Viresh
   Kumar).

 - turbostat utility fixes and support for Broxton, Skylake-X
   and Kabylake processors (Len Brown).

IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.6-rc2 with:

 - Compile-time fixes (warnings and failures)

 - A bug in iommu core code which could cause the group->domain pointer
   to be falsly cleared

 - Fix in scatterlist handling of the ARM common DMA-API code

 - Stall detection fix for the Rockchip IOMMU driver

For the 4.6 cycle, we have a number of changes:
 * Bob's mesh mode rhashtable conversion, this includes

 * and a compiler warning suppression from Jeff

media fixes for v4.6-rc2

Linux 4.1.21

Linux 3.18.30

First round of IIO new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.7 cycle.

New core support
* UV light modifier (for intensity)
* UV light index channel type.

New device support
* hp206c barometer and altimeter
  - new driver.
* mcp4131 potentiometer
  - new driver supporting lots of parts from Microchip.
* mma8452
  - FXLS8471Q support
- NXP LPC18XX SOC ADC
  - new driver.
- NXP LPC18XX SOC DAC
  - new driver.
- rockchip_saradc
  - support rk3399
* st accel
  - h3lis331dl support

Staging driver removals
* adis16204
  - obsolete part making it hard to get parts to test the driver in order
    to clean it up.
* adis16220
  - obsolete part making it hard to get the parts test the driver in order
    to clean it up.

Features
* core
  - convenience functions to claim / release direct access to the device.
    Makes more consistent handling of this corner easier. Used in ad7192 driver.
* ak8975
  - power regulator support.
* at91-sama5d2
  - differential channel support.
* mma8452
  - runtime pm support
  - drop device specific autosleep and use the runtime pm one instead.
* ms5611
  - DT bindings
  - oversampling ratio support

Cleanups and minor fixes
* MAINTAINERS
  - Peter got married - hence name change!

* Documentation
  - Fix a typo in in_proximity_raw description.
  - Add some missing docs for iio_buffer_access_funcs.

* Tools
  - update iio_event_monitor names to match new stuff.
  - make generic_buffer look for triggers ending in -trigger as we let these in
  for a number of drivers a long time back and now it is a fairly common
  option.

Drivers
* staging wide
  - convert bare unsigned usage to unsigned int to comply with coding style.
* non staging wide:
  - since boiler plate gpio handling of interrupts has been moved into the
   ACPI core we don't need to include gpio/consumer.h in a load of drivers so
   drop it.
* ad7606
  - fix an endian casting sparse warning.
* ak8975
  - fix a possible unitialized warning from gcc.
  - drop and unused field left over from earlier cleanups
  - fix a missing regulator_disable on exit.
* at91-sama5d2
  - typo and indentation
  - missing IOMEM dependency.
  - cleanup mode register usage by avoidling erasing whole thing when changing
  the sampling frequency.
* bmc150
  - use the core demux and available_scan_masks to simplify buffer handling
  - optimize the transfers in the trigger handler now we have a magic function
  to emulate bulk reads (under circumstances met here).  This matters with some
  rather dumb i2c adapters in particular.
  - use a single regmap_conf for all bus types as they were all the same.
* bmg160
  - use the core demux and available_scan_masks to simplify the buffer handling
  - optimize the transfers in the trigger handler now we have a magic funciton
  to emulate bulk rads (under circumstances met here).
  - drop gpio interrupt probing from the driver (ACPI) as now handled by the
  ACPI core.
* ina2xx-adc
  - update the CALIB register when RShunt changes.
  - fix scale for VShunt - in reality this error canceled out when used.
* isl29028
  - use regmap to retrieve the struct device instead of carrying a second
  copy of it around.
* kxcjk-1013
  - use core demux
  - optimize i2c transfers in the trigger handler.
* mcp4531
  - refactor to use a pointer to access model parameters instead of indexing
    into the array each time.
* mma8452
  - style fixes
  - avoid swtiching to active whenever the config changes
  - add missin i2c_device_id for mma8451
* mpu6050
  - fix possible NULL dereference.
  - fix the name / chip_id used when ACPI used (otherwise reports as NULL).
* ms5611
  - fix a missing regulator_disable that left the regulator on during removal.
* mxc4005
  - drop gpio interrupt handling for ACPI case from driver as the core now
  handles this case.
* st-sensors
  - note that there are only ever a maximum of 3 axis on current st-sensors
  so just allocate a fixed sized buffer big enough for that.
* tpl0102
  - change the i2c_check_functionality condition to bring it inline with other
    IIO users as EOPNOTSUPP.
* tsl2563
  - replace deprecated flush_scheduled_work

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.6 cycle.

This lot are either dependent on patches from the merge window or just came
in recently enough that they ended up in this tree.

* core
  - The watermark for the buffers was given a value that meant that it was
    impossible to actually set the watermark to anything sensible.
* at91_adc
  - Fix a build config dependency on HAS_IOMEM
* bmc150
  - Fix wrong output on big endian systems
* bmg160
  - Fix wrong output on big endian systems
  - Fix an issue in which the regmap return value was stored to the buffer
    rather than the value actually being read in a bulk read.
* inv_mpu6050
  - Fix an indirect build config dependency on HAS_IOMEM
* max30100
  - Fix an error in fifo check condition that leads to a double read of the
    final reading.
* st_magn
  - Make sure ST_MAGN_TRIGGER_SET_STATE is always defined to avoid a build
    error for relatively obscure config combinations.

First round of IIO fixes for the 4.6 cycle.

Again I've ended up with two early fix sets, depending on whether they are
dependent on elements of the merge window or simply came in after I had
patches with that dependency already, vs older fixes that were just too
late for the last cycle.  This first set is for the older ones.

- max1353
  * Add a missing adc to max1363_id - the driver has supported the
    max11644-11647 for a while, but as they weren't in the id table there
    was no way of actually initializing it.
  * Fix a wrong reference voltage for the above models.  Given you couldn't
    initialize the driver for these parts without patching, no one noticed
    that the reference voltage used in computing the scaling was wrong.
 - apds9960
   * The fifo last enelement was read twice (and hence pushed out twice) due
     to a small logic bug.
