5b50c166b7 avr32: Add MIMC200 board support
Please consider the following patch which adds support for a new AVR32
based board.

The board is closely based on Atmel's NGW100 reference board, but has an
extra 8MByte FLASH and 128KByte FRAM.

198f29358a avr32: Fix MIMC200 board use of SPD network pins
The MIMC200 board uses the SPD output pin from the Ethernet MACs for
other purposes.

One of these is as a board-reset, so I've had to #define off the SPD
output pin declaration.

This is probably not the best way of achieving this, but works in the
current framework.

This patch adds support for the Favr-32 board made by EarthLCD.

This kit, which is also called ezLCD-101, has a 10.4" touch screen LCD panel,
16 MB 32-bit SDRAM, 8 MB parallel flash, Ethernet, audio out, USB device,
SD-card slot, USART and various other connectors for cennecting stuff to SPI,

a3bee42f05 avr32: Add support for EVKLCD10X addon boards
This patch lets the user enable support for EVKLCD100 and EVKLCD101
(refered to by EVKLCD10X). By enabling EVKLCD10X support the LCD
controller and AC97 controller platform devices are added.

The user can also choose between the EVKLCD100 (QVGA display) and the
EVKLCD101 (VGA display), this is added to automagically select the
correct panel timing and resolution parameters.

Enabling support for EVKLCD10X addon board will cripple the MCI platform
device a bit since they share two GPIO lines (detect and write-protect).
These two lines are disabled when EVKLCD10X is enabled.

The default configurations are based upon ATNGW100, but with added AC97C
and LCDC driver. Virtual terminal is also enabled by default for
EVKLCD10X boards.

Verified on hardware with a NGW100 + EVKLCD100/101.

65e8b083fc atmel-mci: Add experimental DMA support
This adds support for DMA transfers through the generic DMA engine
framework with the DMA slave extensions.

The driver has been tested using mmc-block and ext3fs on several SD,
SDHC and MMC+ cards. Reads and writes work fine, with read transfer
rates up to 7.5 MiB/s on fast cards with debugging disabled.

Unfortunately, the driver has been known to lock up from time to time
with DMA enabled, so DMA support is currently optional and marked
EXPERIMENTAL. However, I didn't see any problems while testing 13
different cards (MMC, SD and SDHC of different brands and sizes), so I
suspect the "Initialize BLKR before sending data transfer command" fix
that was posted earlier fixed this as well.

965ebf33ea atmel-mci: support multiple mmc slots
The Atmel MCI controller can drive multiple cards through separate sets
of pins, but only one at a time. This patch adds support for
multiplexing access to the controller so that multiple card slots can be
used as if they were hooked up to separate mmc controllers.

The atmel-mci driver registers each slot as a separate mmc_host. Both
access the same common controller state, but they also have some state
on their own for card detection/write protect handling, and separate
shadows of the MR and SDCR registers.

When one of the slots receives a request from the mmc core, the common
controller state is checked. If it's idle, the request is submitted
immediately. If not, the request is added to a queue. When a request is
done, the queue is checked and if there is a queued request, it is
submitted before the completion callback is called.

This patch also includes a few cleanups and fixes, including a locking
overhaul. I had to change the locking extensively in any case, so I
might as well try to get it right. The driver no longer takes any
irq-safe locks, which may or may not improve the overall system
performance.

This patch also adds a bit of documentation of the internal data
structures.

6b918657b7 atmel-mci: Platform code for supporting multiple mmc slots
Add the necessary platform infrastructure to support multiple mmc/sdcard
slots all at once through a single controller. Currently, the driver
will use the first valid slot it finds and stick with that, but later
patches will add support for switching between several slots on the fly.

Extend the platform data structure with per-slot information: MMC/SDcard
bus width and card detect/write protect pins. This will affect the pin
muxing as well as the capabilities announced to the mmc core.

Note that board code is now required to supply a mci_platform_data
struct to at32_add_device_mci().

9e3f544d79 avr32: Fix lockup after Java stack underflow in user mode
When using the Java Extension Module hardware, a Java stack underflow or
overflow trap may cause the system to enter an infinite exception loop.
Although there's no kernel support for the Java hardware yet, we need to
be able to recover from this situation and keep the system running.

This patch adds code to detect and fixup this situation in the critical
exception handler and terminate the faulting process. We may have to
rethink how to handle this more gracefully when the necessary kernel
support for hardware-accelerated Java is added.

7444a72eff gpiolib: allow user-selection
This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
request to get it built in.

The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
functions in its asm/gpio.h file.  This patch adds the implementations for
x86 and PPC.

With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions.  Support
for more architectures can easily be added.

d8f388d8dc gpio: sysfs interface
This adds a simple sysfs interface for GPIOs.

    /sys/class/gpio
    	/export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
    	/unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
        /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
	    /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
	    /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write high, low
	/gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
	    /base ... (r/o) same as N
	    /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
	    /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N .. N+(ngpio - 1)

GPIOs claimed by kernel code may be exported by its owner using a new
gpio_export() call, which should be most useful for driver debugging.
Such exports may optionally be done without a "direction" attribute.

Userspace may ask to take over a GPIO by writing to a sysfs control file,
helping to cope with incomplete board support or other "one-off"
requirements that don't merit full kernel support:

  echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/export
	... will gpio_request(23, "sysfs") and gpio_export(23);
	use /sys/class/gpio/gpio-23/direction to (re)configure it,
	when that GPIO can be used as both input and output.
  echo 23 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
	... will gpio_free(23), when it was exported as above

The extra D-space footprint is a few hundred bytes, except for the sysfs
resources associated with each exported GPIO.  The additional I-space
footprint is about two thirds of the current size of gpiolib (!).  Since
no /dev node creation is involved, no "udev" support is needed.

Related changes:

  * This adds a device pointer to "struct gpio_chip".  When GPIO
    providers initialize that, sysfs gpio class devices become children of
    that device instead of being "virtual" devices.

  * The (few) gpio_chip providers which have such a device node have
    been updated.

  * Some gpio_chip drivers also needed to update their module "owner"
    field ...  for which missing kerneldoc was added.

  * Some gpio_chips don't support input GPIOs.  Those GPIOs are now
    flagged appropriately when the chip is registered.

Based on previous patches, and discussion both on and off LKML.

A Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-gpio update is ready to submit once this
merges to mainline.

56d3eef2b4 avr32: allow system timer to share interrupt to make OProfile work
The following patch allows the avr32_comparator interrupt to be shared.
This is necessary as the avr32 oprofile driver shares the irq group 0
with the timer.

To make OProfile actually work on AVR32, a small patch for oprofiled is
also needed (posted to the oprofile mailing list).
