2846d84ffa ARM: 6940/1: fiq: Briefly document driver responsibilities for suspend/resume
Drivers which make use of the FIQ interrupt may require the state
of the FIQ mode registers to be preserved across suspend/resume.

Because the FIQ mode registers are not saved and restored
automatically by the kernel, driver authors will need to do the
appropriate save/restore in their own driver suspend/resume
handlers.

Implementing global automatic save/restore of the FIQ state does
not appear appropriate, since this by itself is not sufficient for
FIQ-based drivers to function correctly across suspend/resume in
any case.

This patch adds a brief explanatory note to fiq.h documenting the
requirement placed on driver authors.

dc2eb928a1 ARM: 6938/1: fiq: Refactor {get,set}_fiq_regs() for Thumb-2
* To remove the risk of inconvenient register allocation decisions
   by the compiler, these functions are separated out as pure
   assembler.

 * The apcs frame manipulation code is not applicable for Thumb-2
   (and also not easily compatible).  Since it's not essential to
   have a full frame on these leaf assembler functions, the frame
   manipulation is removed, in the interests of simplicity.

 * Split up ldm/stm instructions to be compatible with Thumb-2,
   as well as avoiding instruction forms deprecated on >= ARMv7.

4baa992243 [ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asm
Move platform independent header files to arch/arm/include/asm, leaving
those in asm/arch* and asm/plat* alone.
