Pull module_platform_driver replacement from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_platform_driver with builtin_platform driver in non
modules.
We see an increasing number of non-modular drivers using
modular_driver() type register functions. There are several downsides
to letting this continue unchecked:
- The code can appear modular to a reader of the code, and they won't
know if the code really is modular without checking the Makefile
and Kconfig to see if compilation is governed by a bool or
tristate.
- Coders of drivers may be tempted to code up an __exit function that
is never used, just in order to satisfy the required three args of
the modular registration function.
- Non-modular code ends up including the <module.h> which increases
CPP overhead that they don't need.
- It hinders us from performing better separation of the module init
code and the generic init code.
So here we introduce similar macros for builtin drivers. Then we
convert builtin drivers (controlled by a bool Kconfig) by making the
following type of mapping:
module_platform_driver() ---> builtin_platform_driver()
module_platform_driver_probe() ---> builtin_platform_driver_probe().
The set of drivers that are converted here are just the ones that
showed up as relying on an implicit include of <module.h> during a
pending header cleanup. So we convert them here vs adding an include
of <module.h> to non-modular code to avoid compile fails. Additonal
conversions can be done asynchronously at any time.
Once again, an unused module_exit function that is removed here
appears in the diffstat as an outlier wrt all the other changes"

Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non
modules.
This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init()
call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our
alternate priority initcalls.
Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a
runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls,
because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do.
For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch
specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code.
This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be
taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit
init ordering issue may lie uncovered. But I think it is still better
to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to
device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering.
Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in
commit c96d6660dc65 ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of
module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this
type of change isn't without precedent. It has also got the same
local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests
that I'm sending for this merge window have got.
Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows
up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat"

Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker:
"Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules.
This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the
module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use
device_initcall().
The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes
__initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto
device_initcall. A couple files show a larger negative diffstat,
representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here
vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it.
We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.
The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid
a compile fail, as testing has shown"

Pull implicit module.h fixes from Paul Gortmaker:
"Fix up implicit <module.h> users that will break later.
The files changed here are simply modular source files that are
implicitly relying on <module.h> being present. We fix them up now,
so that we can decouple some of the module related init code from the
core init code in the future.
The addition of the module.h include to several files here is also a
no-op from a code generation point of view, else there would already
be compile issues with these files today.
There may be lots more implicit includes of <module.h> in tree, but
these are the ones that extensive build test coverage has shown that
must be fixed in order to avoid build breakage fallout for the pending
module.h <---> init.h code relocation we desire to complete"

"Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization
to speed module address lookup. He found some abusers of the module
lock doing that too.
A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's
breaking up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load
another module (yeah, really). Unfortunately that broke the usual

appended too"

To be consistent with other kernel interface namings, rename
of_get_named_gen_pool() to of_gen_pool_get(). In the original function
name "_named" suffix references to a device tree property, which contains
a phandle to a device and the corresponding device driver is assumed to
register a gen_pool object.
Due to a weak relation and to avoid any confusion (e.g. in future
possible scenario if gen_pool objects are named) the suffix is removed.

do_device_access() takes a separate parameter to indicate the direction of
data transfer, which it used to use to select the appropriate function out
of sg_pcopy_{to,from}_buffer(). However these two functions now have
So this patch makes it bypass these wrappers and call the underlying
function sg_copy_buffer() directly; this has the same calling style as
do_device_access() i.e. a separate direction-of-transfer parameter and no
pointers-to-const, so skipping the wrappers not only eliminates the
warning, it also make the code simpler :)

CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set. That config option cannot be set
but will be available in a later patch. Parallel initialisation of struct
page depends on some features from memory hotplug and it is necessary to

of_irq_parse_raw() needs to return the correct interrupt controller
node when an interrupt-map property doesn't exist.
It allows of_irq_parse_raw() to return the node pointer of the interrupt
controller, rather than the parent bus. This allows ics_rtas_host_match()
to detect that the controller is a legacy 8259 and avoid using xics.
This avoids an RTAS assertion/crash during early kernel bootstrapping.

The -ENODEV error just means that the device is not
translated by an IOMMU. We shouldn't bail out of iommu
driver initialization when that happens, as this is a common
scenario on ARM.
Not returning -ENODEV in the drivers would be a bad idea, as
the IOMMU core would have no indication whether a device is
translated or not. This indication is not used at the
moment, but will probably be in the future.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

LP55xx driver uses not firmware file but raw data to load program through
the firmware interface.(Documents/leds/leds-lp55xx.txt)
For example, here is how to run blinking green channel pattern.
(The second engine is seleted and MUX is mapped to 'RGB' mode)
echo 2 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/select_engine
echo "RGB" > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/engine_mux
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
echo "4000600040FF6000" > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/data
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/lp5562/loading
echo 1 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/xxxx/run_engine
However, '/sys/class/firmware/<device name>' is not created after the
firmware loader user helper was introduced.
This feature is used in the case below.
As soon as the firmware download is requested by the driver, firmware
class subsystem tries to find the binary file.
If it gets failed, then it just falls back to user helper to load
raw data manually. Here, you can see the device file under
/sys/class/firmware/.
To make it happen, LP55xx driver requires two configurations.
1. Enable CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK in Kconfig
2. Set option, 'FW_OPT_USERHELPER' on requesting the firmware data.
It means the second option should be 'false' in
request_firmware_nowait().
This option enables to load firmware data manually by calling
fw_load_from_user_helper().
