Linux 4.1.31

GPIO fixes for v4.8:

This fixes a Kconfig issue with UM: when I made GPIOLIB
available to all archs, that included UM, but the OF part
of GPIOLIB requires HAS_IOMEM, so we add HAS_IOMEM as a
dependency to OF_GPIO.

This in turn exposed the fact that a few GPIO drivers were
implicitly assuming OF_GPIO as their dependency but instead
depended on OF alone (the typical problem being a pointer
inside gpio_chip not existing unless OF_GPIO is selected)
and then UM would fail to compile with these drivers
instead. Then I lost patience and made any GPIO driver
depending on just OF depend on OF_GPIO instead, that is
certainly what they meant and the only thing that makes
sense anyway. GPIO with just OF but !OF_GPIO does not make
sense.

Also a fix for the max730x driver data pointer, and a minor
comment fix for the GPIO tools.

- bugfixes and cleanups for rcu-protected requests (Chris)
- atomic modeset fixes for gpu reset on pre-g4x (Maarten&Ville)
- guc submission improvements (Dave Gordon)
- panel power sequence cleanup (Imre)
- better use of stolen and unmappable ggtt (Chris), plus prep work to make that
  happen
- rework of framebuffer offsets, prep for multi-plane framebuffers (Ville)
- fully partial ggtt vmaps, including fenced ones (Chris)
- move lots more of the gem tracking from the object to the vma (Chris)
- tune the command parser (Chris)
- allow fbc without fences on recent platforms (Chris)
- fbc frontbuffer tracking fixes (Chris)
- fast prefaulting using io-mappping.h pgprot caching (Chris)

*) Other minor fixes

DeviceTree fixes for 4.8:

- Couple of DT node ref counting fixes

- Fix __unflatten_device_tree for PPC PCI hotplug case

- Rework marking irq controllers as OF_POPULATED in cases where real
driver is used.

- Disable of_platform_default_populate_init on PPC. The change in
initcall order causes problems which need to be sorted out later.

Power management updates for v4.8-rc3

 - Fix a hibernate core regression resulting from uncovering a
   latent bug in its implementation of memory bitmaps by a recent
   commit (James Morse).

 - Use __pa() to compute a physical address in the x86-64 code
   finalizing resume from hibernation (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Update power management documentation related to system sleep
   states to remove outdated information from it and to add a
   description of a recently introduced hibernation debug feature
   to it (Rafael Wysocki).

This is the 4.7.1 stable release

This is the 4.6.7 stable release

This is the 4.4.18 stable release

This is the 3.14.76 stable release

IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.8-rc2

Including:

	* Some functions defined in a header file for the mediatek
	  driver were not marked inline. Fix that oversight.

	* Fix a potential crash in the ARM64 dma-mapping code when
	  freeing a partially initialized domain.

	* Another fix for ARM64 dma-mapping to respect IOMMU mapping
	  constraints when allocating IOVA addresses.

Linux 4.8-rc2

Power management fixes for v4.8-rc2

 - Fix the x86 identity mapping creation helpers to avoid the
   assumption that the base address of the mapping will always be
   aligned at the PGD level, as it may be aligned at the PUD level
   if address space randomization is enabled (Rafael Wysocki).

 - Fix the hibernation core to avoid executing tracing functions
   before restoring the processor state completely during resume
   (Thomas Garnier).

 - Fix a recently introduced regression in the powernv cpufreq
   driver that causes it to crash due to an out-of-bounds array
   access (Akshay Adiga).
