Linux 3.14-rc7

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.14-rc7

 - A recent ACPI resources handling fix overlooked the fact that it had
   to update the ACPI PNP subsystem's resources parsing too and caused
   confusing warning messages to be printed during system intialization
   on some systems (with arguably buggy ACPI tables).  Fix from Zhang Rui.

 - Moving the early ACPI initialization before timekeeping_init() earlier
   in this cycle broke fast TSC calibration on at least one system, so it
   needs to be done later, but still before efi_enter_virtual_mode() to
   allow the EFI initialization to refer to ACPI.

 - A change related to code duplication reduction in the cpufreq core
   inadvertently caused cpufreq intialization to fail for some CPUs
   handled by intel_pstate by adding checks that may fail for that
   driver, but aren't even necessary when it is used.  The issue is
   addressed by preventing those checks from run in the configurations
   in which they aren't needed.

 - If the Hardware Reduced ACPI flag is set in the ACPI tables, system
   suspend, hibernation and ACPI power off will only work when special
   sleep control and sleep status registeres are provided (their
   addresses in the ACPI tables are not zero).  If those registers are
   not available, the features in question have no chances to work,
   so they shouldn't even be regarded as supported.  That helps with
   power off in particular, because alternative power off methods may
   be used then and they may actually work.

Allwinner defconfig additions for 3.15

Enables SPI and SID drivers in sunxi defconfig

Allwinner core additions for 3.15

Just a minor commit to adjust the restart code to take into account the new
compatibles

Allwinner DT additions for 3.15, take 2:
  - Two new boards: INet 97F Rev 02 and A10-OLinuXino-LIME
  - Addition of the I2C for the A31
  - Addition USB Host mode for the A10, A10s, A13 and A20
  - Addition of SATA support for the A10 and A20
  - Change of compatible for the watchdog

This is the 3.4.83 stable release

This is the 3.12.14 stable release

Linux 3.14-rc6

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.14-rc6

 - ACPI tables in some BIOSes list device resources with size equal
   to 0, which doesn't make sense, so we should ignore them, but
   instead we try to use them and mangle things completely.  Fix
   from Zhang Rui.

 - Several models of Samsung laptops accumulate EC events when they
   are in sleep states which leads to EC buffer overflows that prevent
   new events from being signaled after system resume or reboot.  This
   has been affecting many users for quite a while and may be addressed
   by clearing the EC buffer during system resume and system startup on
   those machines.  From Kieran Clancy.

 - If the ACPI sleep control and status registers are not present
   (which  happens if the Hardware Reduced ACPI mode bit is set in
   the ACPI tables, but also may result from BIOS bugs), we should
   not try to use ACPI to power off the system and ACPI S5 should
   not be listed as supported.  Fix from Aubrey Li.

 - There's a race condition in cpufreq_get() that leads to a kernel
   crash if that function is called at a wrong time.  Fix from
   Aaron Plattner.

 - cpufreq policy objects have to be initialized entirely before
   they are first accessed by their users which isn't the case
   currently and that potentially leads to various kinds of
   breakage that is difficult to debug.  Fix from Viresh Kumar.

 - Locking is missing in __cpufreq_add_dev() which leads to a race
   condition that may trigger a kernel crash.  Fix from Viresh Kumar.

- fine-grained display power domains for byt (Imre)
- runtime pm prep patches for !hsw from Paulo
- WiZ hashing flag updates from Ville
- ppgtt setup cleanup and enabling of full 4G range on bdw (Ben)
- fixes from Jesse for the inherited intial config code
- gpu reset code improvements from Mika
- per-pipe num_planes refactoring from Damien
- stability fixes around bdw forcewake handling and other bdw w/a from Mika and
  Ken
- and as usual a pile of smaller fixes all over

This is the 3.13.6 stable release

This is the 3.10.33 stable release

A set of pin control fixes for the v3.14 series:

- Fix chained interrupts, interrupt masking and register offset
  calculation for the sunxi driver.

- Make MSM a bool rather than a tristate to stop build problems
  to happen - chained interrupt controllers cannot currently be
  defined in modules.

- Fix a clock in the PFC driver.

- Fix a kernel panic in the sirf driver.

Allwinner DT patches for 3.15, take 1:
  - Add SPI controllers for all the SoCs
  - Add various missing aliases
  - Add USB clocks nodes
  - Addition of the GMAC support
  - Introduction of the pcDuino board
  - A few DT cleanup patches: change of compatibles,

Two fixes for device trees additions that got added in 3.14. One fixes the
interrupt types of some IPs, the other fixes up a compatible that got
introduced during 3.14

Linux 3.14-rc5

ACPI and power management fixes for 3.14-rc5

 - One of the recent intel_pstate driver fixes introduced a rounding
   error that on some systems causes the frequency to be stuck at the
   lowest level forever.  Fix from Dirk Brandewie.

 - The firmware_class driver's PM notifier doesn't handle the
   PM_RESTORE_PREPARE event during hibernation image restore and that
   leads to a deadlock on umhelper_sem in __usermodehelper_disable().
   Fix from Sebastian Capella.

 - acpi_processor_set_throttling() abuses set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in a
   nasty way which triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE() in wq_worker_waking_up()
   among other things.  Fix from Lan Tianyu.

drm: DisplayPort AUX framework for v3.15-rc1

This series of patches implements a small framework that abstracts away
some of the functionality that the DisplayPort AUX channel provides. It
comes with a set of generic helpers that use the driver implementations
to reduce code duplication.
