git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson: "We have a fairly large batch of fixes this time around, mostly just due to various platforms all having a fix or two more than usual. Worth pointing out are: - A fix for EDMA on Davinci/OMAP where channel allocation broke with the DT conversion. Due to some miscommunication we didn't understand the impact of the breakage, so we were pushing back on it for 3.12, but it sounds like it's actually breaking quite a few people out there. - A bunch of fixes for Marvell platforms, some straggling fixes for merge window fallout and some fixes for a couple of the platforms (Netgear RN102 in particular). - A fix for a race between multi-cluster power management and cpu hotplug on Versatile Express.

Currently IEEE 1588 timer reference clock source is determined through hard-coded value in gianfar_ptp driver. This patch allows to select ptp clock source by means of device tree file node.

Other acceptable values: <1> : eTSEC system clock <2> : eTSEC1 transmit clock <3> : RTC clock input When this attribute isn't used, eTSEC system clock will serve as IEEE 1588 timer reference clock.

2013-09-30block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsingPaul Gortmaker
Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER. However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific. In addition, fix up the following less critical items: - help text was not really at all helpful. - index file for Documentation was not updated - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - clarify wording in source comments Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Cai Zhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com> Cc: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next Jonathan writes: First round of new drivers, functionality and cleanups for IIO in the 3.13 cycle A number of new drivers and some new functionality + a lot of cleanups all over IIO. New Core Elements 1) New INT_TIME info_mask element for integration time, which may have different effects on measurement noise and similar, than an amplifier and hence is different from existing SCALE. Already existed in some drivers as a custom attribute. 2) Introduce a iio_push_buffers_with_timestamp helper to cover the common case of filling the last 64 bits of data to be passed to the buffer with a timestamp. Applied to lots of drivers. Cuts down on repeated code and moves a slightly fiddly bit of logic into a single location. 3) Introduce info_mask_[shared_by_dir/shared_by_all] elements to allow support of elements such as sampling_frequency which is typically shared by all input channels on a device. This reduces code and makes these controls available from in kernel consumers of IIO devices. New drivers 1) MCP3422/3/4 ADC 2) TSL4531 ambient light sensor 3) TCS3472/5 color light sensor 4) GP2AP020A00F ambient light / proximity sensor 5) LPS001WP support added to ST pressure sensor driver. New driver functionality 1) ti_am335x_adc Add buffered sampling support. This device has a hardware fifo that is fed directly into an IIO kfifo buffer based on a watershed interrupt. Note this will act as an example of how to handle this increasingly common type of device. The only previous example - sca3000 - take a less than optimal approach which is largely why it is still in staging. A couple of little cleanups for that new functionality followed later. Core cleanups: 1) MAINTAINERS - Sachin actually brought my email address up to date because I said I'd do it and never got around to it :) 2) Assign buffer list elements as single element lists to simplify the iio_buffer_is_active logic. 3) wake_up_interruptible_poll instead of wake_up_interruptible to only wake up threads waiting for poll notifications. 4) Add O_CLOEXEC flag to anon_inode_get_fd call for IIO event interface. 5) Change iio_push_to_buffers to take a void * pointer so as to avoid some annoying and unnecessary type casts. 6) iio_compute_scan_bytes incorrectly took a long rather than unsigned long. 7) Various minor tidy ups. Driver cleanups (in no particular order) 1) Another set of devm_ allocations patches from Sachin Kamat. 2) tsl2x7x - 0 to NULL cleanup. 3) hmc5843 - fix missing > in MODULE_AUTHOR 4) Set of strict_strto* to kstrto* conversions. 5) mxs-lradc - fix ordering of resource removal to match creation 6) mxs-lradc - add MODULE_ALIAS 7) adc7606 - drop a work pending test duplicated in core functions. 8) hmc5843 - devm_ allocation patch 9) Series of redundant breaks removed. 10) ad2s1200 - pr_err -> dev_err 11) adjd_s311 - use INT_TIME 12) ST sensors - large set of cleanups from Lee Jones and removed restriction to using only triggers provided by the st_sensors themselves from Dennis Ciocca. 13) dummy and tmp006 provide sampling_frequency via info_mask_shared_by_all. 14) tcs3472 - fix incorrect buffer size and wrong device pointer used in suspend / resume functions. 15) max1363 - use defaults for buffer setup ops as provided by the triggered buffer helpers as they are the same as were specified in max1363 driver. 16) Trivial tidy ups in a number of other drivers.
2013-09-21ARM: shmobile: update SDHI DT compatibility string to the <unit>-<soc> formatGuennadi Liakhovetski
Currently DT compatibility strings of both types can be found in the kernel sources: <unit>-<soc> and <soc>-<unit>, whereas a unique format should be followed and the former one is preferred. This patch converts the SDHI MMC driver and its users to the common standard. This is safe for now, since ATM no real products are using this driver with DT.

2013-09-15bonding: Make alb learning packet interval configurableNeil Horman
running bonding in ALB mode requires that learning packets be sent periodically, so that the switch knows where to send responding traffic. However, depending on switch configuration, there may not be any need to send traffic at the default rate of 3 packets per second, which represents little more than wasted data. Allow the ALB learning packet interval to be made configurable via sysfs Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Acked-by: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@redhat.com> CC: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> CC: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> CC: "David S.

2013-09-14iio: Add INT_TIME (integration time) channel info attributePeter Meerwald
Integration time is in seconds; it controls the measurement time and influences the gain of a sensor. There are two typical ways that scaling is implemented in a device: 1) input amplifier, 2) reference to the ADC is changed. These both result in the accuracy of the ADC varying (by applying its sampling over a more relevant range). Integration time is a way of dealing with noise inherent in the analog sensor itself. In the case of a light sensor, a mixture of photon noise and device specific noise. Photon noise is dealt with by either improving the efficiency of the sensor, (more photons actually captured) which is not easily varied dynamically, or by integrating the measurement over a longer time period. Note that this can also be thought of as an averaging of a number of individual samples and is infact sometimes implemented this way. Altering integration time implies that the duration of a measurement changes, a fact the device's user may be interested in. Hence it makes sense to distinguish between integration time and simple scale. In some devices both types of control are present and whilst they will have similar effects on the amplitude of the reading, their effect on the noise of the measurements will differ considerably. Used by adjd_s311, tsl4531, tcs3472 The following drivers have similar controls (and could be adapted): * tsl2563 (integration time is controlled via CALIBSCALE among other things) * tsl2583 (has integration_time device_attr, but driver doesn't use channels yet) * tsl2x7x (has integration_time attr) Signed-off-by: Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@pmeerw.net> Cc: Jon Brenner <jon.brenner@ams.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@kernel.org>
