Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux into thermal
Conflicts:
drivers/staging/omap-thermal/omap-thermal-common.
OMAP supplied dummy TC1 and TC2,
at the same time that the thermal tree removed them
from thermal_zone_device_register()
drivers/thermal/cpu_cooling.c b/drivers/thermal/cpu_cooling.c
propogate the upstream MAX_IDR_LEVEL re-name
to prevent a build failure
