LLVMLinux Patches for v3.15

ASoC: Fixes for v3.15

A smattering of device specific fixes, nothing stands out here except
for the multiplatform fixes for Samsung and the device IDs being added
by Stephen Warren - there's no real code changes from those and they
give better robustness to the enumeration with DT.

This is the 3.2.57 stable release

CPU hotplug notifiers registration fixes for 3.15-rc1

The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat (with
a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple subsystems that use
CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to register them that will not
lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline operations as described in the
changelog of commit 93ae4f978ca7f (CPU hotplug: Provide lockless versions
of callback registration functions).

The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document it
and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers and
converts them to using the new method.

This is the 3.12.17 stable release

fbdev changes for 3.15 (OMAP)

This contains OMAP related fbdev changes for 3.15. The bulk of the patches are
for adding Device Tree support for OMAP Display Subsystem:

* SoCs: OMAP2/3/4

* Boards: OMAP4 Panda, OMAP4 SDP, OMAP3 Beagle, OMAP3 Beagle-xM, OMAP3
  IGEP0020, OMAP3 N900

* Devices: TFP410 Encoder, tpd12s015 HDMI companion chip, Sony acx565akm panel,
  MIPI DSI Command mode panel and HDMI, DVI and Analog TV connectors

ARM: SoC: late cleanups

These could not be part of the first cleanup branch, because they either
came too late in the cycle, or they have dependencies on other branches.
Important changes are:

* The integrator platform is almost multiplatform capable after
  some reorganization (Linus Walleij)
* Minor cleanups on Zynq (Michal Simek)
* Lots of changes for Exynos and other Samsung platforms, including
  further preparations for multiplatform support and the clocks bindings
  are rearranged.

ARM: SoC: sh driver changes

The drivers/sh subdirectory used to get merged through the SH architecture
tree, but things are in flux there and some of the drivers are shared
with ARM shmobile, we have picked it up for the time being.

There is only one trivial patch from Laurent Pinchart this time.

ARM: SoC: driver changes

These changes are mostly for ARM specific device drivers that either
don't have an upstream maintainer, or that had the maintainer ask
us to pick up the changes to avoid conflicts. A large chunk of this
are clock drivers (bcm281xx, exynos, versatile, shmobile), aside from
that, reset controllers for STi as well as a large rework of the
Marvell Orion/EBU watchdog driver are notable.

ARM: SoC: device tree changes

A large part of the arm-soc patches are nowadays DT changes, adding support
for new SoCs, boards and devices without changing kernel source. The plan
is still to move the devicetree files out of the kernel tree and reduce
the amount of churn going on here, but we keep finding reasons to delay
doing that.

Changes are really all over the place, with little sticking out particularly.
We have contributions from a total of 116 people in this branch.

Unfortunately, the size of this branch also causes a significant number
of conflicts at the moment, typically when subsystem maintainers merge
patches that change the driver at the same time as the dts files. In
most cases this could be avoided because the dts changes are supposed
to be compatible in both ways, and we are asking everyone to send ARM
dts changes through our tree only.

ARM: SoC specific changes

Lots of changes specific to one of the SoC families. Some that
stick out are:

* mach-qcom gains new features, most importantly SMP support for
  the newer chips (Stephen Boyd, Rohit Vaswani)
* mvebu gains support for three new SoCs: Armada 375, 380 and 385
  (Thomas Petazzoni and Free-electrons team)
* SMP support for Rockchips (Heiko Stübner)
* Lots of i.MX changes (Shawn Guo)
* Added support for BCM5301x SoC (Hauke Mehrtens)
* Multiplatform support for Marvell Kirkwood and Dove
  (Andrew Lunn and Sebastian Hesselbarth doing the final part
  of a long journey)
* Unify davinci platforms and remove obsolete ones (Sekhar Nori,
  Arnd Bergmann)

ARM: SoC: cleanups for 3.15

These cleanup patches are mainly move stuff around and should all
be harmless. They are mainly split out so that other branches can
be based on top to avoid conflicts.

Notable changes are:

* We finally remove all mach/timex.h, after CLOCK_TICK_RATE is no
  longer used. (Uwe Kleine-König)
* The Qualcomm MSM platform is split out into legacy mach-msm and
  new-style mach-qcom, to allow easier maintainance of the new
  hardware support without regressions. (Kumar Gala)
* A rework of some of the Kconfig logic to simplify multiplatform
  support (Rob Herring)
* Samsung Exynos gets closer to supporting multiplatform (Sachin
  Kamat and others)
* mach-bcm3528 gets merged into mach-bcm (Stephen Warren)
* at91 gains some common clock framework support (Alexandre Belloni,
  Jean-Jacques Hiblot and other French people).

ARM: SoC non-critical bug fixes for 3.15

Lots of isolated bug fixes that were not found to be important
enough to be submitted before the merge window or backported
into stable kernels.
The vast majority of these came out of Arnd's randconfig testing
and just prevents running into build-time bugs in configurations
that we do not care about in practice.

- cmd parser for gen7 but only in enforcing and not yet granting mode - the
  batch copying stuff is still missing. Also performance is a bit ... rough
  (Brad Volkin + OACONTROL fix from Ken).
- deprecate UMS harder (i.e. CONFIG_BROKEN)
- interrupt rework from Paulo Zanoni
- runtime PM support for bdw and snb, again from Paulo
- a pile of refactorings from various people all over the place to prep for new
  stuff (irq reworks, power domain polish, ...)

fbdev changes for 3.15 (main part)

Various fbdev fixes and improvements, but nothing big.

IOMMU Upates for Linux v3.15

This time a few more updates queued up.

	* Rework VT-d code to support ACPI devices

	* Improvements for memory and PCI hotplug support
	  in the VT-d driver

	* Device-tree support for OMAP IOMMU

	* Convert OMAP IOMMU to use devm_* interfaces

	* Fixed PASID support for AMD IOMMU

	* Other random cleanups and fixes for OMAP, ARM-SMMU
	  and SHMOBILE IOMMU

Most of the changes are in the VT-d driver because some rework was
necessary for better hotplug and ACPI device support.
