This reverts commit 36b30d6138.
This is necessary to detect paz00 (ac100) touchpad properly as one
speaking ETPS/2 protocol. Without it X.org's synaptics driver doesn't
work as the touchpad is detected as an ImPS/2 mouse instead.
Commit ec6184b1c7 changed the way
auto-detection is performed on ports marked as pass through and made the
issue apparent.
A pass through port is an additional PS/2 port used to connect a slave
device to a master device that is using PS/2 to communicate with the
host (so slave's PS/2 communication is tunneled over master's PS/2
link). "Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad Interfacing Guide" describes such a
setup (PS/2 PASS-THROUGH OPTION section).
Since paz00's embedded controller is not connected to a PS/2 port
itself, the PS/2 interface it exposes is not a pass-through one.

`ni_tio_clock_period_ps()` used to return the clock period in
picoseconds, and had a `BUG()` call for invalid cases. It was changed
to pass the clock period back via a pointer parameter and return an
error for the invalid cases. Unfortunately the code to handle
user-specified clock sources with user-specified clock period is still
returning the clock period the old way, which can lead to the caller not
getting the clock period, or seeing an unexpected error. Fix it by
passing the clock period via the pointer parameter and returning `0`.

Interestingly scale related fixes for accelerometers at both ends of
the range. Obviously more varied devices turning up than we've seen before!
* ad5933
- fix an uninitialized value in a return case that is winding up GCC.
* hid sensors
- missing pm function prevents hid rotations sensors from working on newer
ISH hubs (works by luck on older ones)
- increase of scale precision needed to fix a case where on a yoga 260
the reported scale is 0 (presumably a high precision but very low g sensor).
* st_sensors
- fix an issue seen with the hs3lis331dl where the range is much greater
than previous devices (100's of g) and hence the per bit scale is greater
than 1.

This fix removes the unnecessary call to destroy_workqueue() while opening
the device to avoid the above kernel panic. The deinit routine already
does a good job of terminating the workqueue when no longer needed.

With centralized MTU checking, there's nothing productive done by
eth_change_mtu that isn't already done in dev_set_mtu, so mark it as
deprecated and remove all usage of it in the kernel. All callers have been
audited for calls to alloc_etherdev* or ether_setup directly, which means
they all have a valid dev->min_mtu and dev->max_mtu. Now eth_change_mtu
prints out a netdev_warn about being deprecated, for the benefit of
out-of-tree drivers that might be utilizing it.
Of note, dvb_net.c actually had dev->mtu = 4096, while using
eth_change_mtu, meaning that if you ever tried changing it's mtu, you
couldn't set it above 1500 anymore. It's now getting dev->max_mtu also set
to 4096 to remedy that.

Current supplementary groups code can massively overallocate memory and
is implemented in a way so that access to individual gid is done via 2D
array.
If number of gids is <= 32, memory allocation is more or less tolerable
(140/148 bytes). But if it is not, code allocates full page (!)
regardless and, what's even more fun, doesn't reuse small 32-entry
array.
2D array means dependent shifts, loads and LEAs without possibility to
optimize them (gid is never known at compile time).
All of the above is unnecessary. Switch to the usual
trailing-zero-len-array scheme. Memory is allocated with
kmalloc/vmalloc() and only as much as needed. Accesses become simpler
(LEA 8(gi,idx,4) or even without displacement).
Maximum number of gids is 65536 which translates to 256KB+8 bytes. I
think kernel can handle such allocation.
On my usual desktop system with whole 9 (nine) aux groups, struct
group_info shrinks from 148 bytes to 44 bytes, yay!
Nice side effects:
- "gi->gid[i]" is shorter than "GROUP_AT(gi, i)", less typing,
- fix little mess in net/ipv4/ping.c
should have been using GROUP_AT macro but this point becomes moot,
- aux group allocation is persistent and should be accounted as such.

Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.9-rc1.
There are a lot of patches in here, the majority due to the
drivers/staging/greybus/ subsystem being merged in with full development
history that went back a few years, in order to preserve the work that
those developers did over time. This was done the same way that btrfs
was merged into the tree, so all should be ok there.
Lots and lots of tiny cleanups happened in the tree as well, due to the
Outreachy application process and lots of other developers showing up
for the first time to clean code up. Along with those changes, we
deleted a wireless driver, and added a raspberrypi driver (currently
marked broken), and lots of new iio drivers.
Overall the tree still shrunk with more lines removed than added, about
10 thousand lines removed in total. Full details are in the very long
shortlog below.
All of this has been in the linux-next tree with no issues. There will
be some merge problems with other subsystem trees, but those are all
minor problems and shouldn't be hard to work out when they happen
(MAINTAINERS and some lustre build problems with the IB tree.)

And furter from me asking for clarification about greybus:
"Right now there is a phone from Motorola shipping with this code (a
slightly older version, but the same tree), so even though Ara is not
alive in the same form, the functionality is happening. We are working
with the developers of that phone to merge the newer stuff in with
their fork so they can use the upstream version in future versions of
their phone product line.
Toshiba has at least one chip shipping in their catalog that
needs/uses this protocol over a Unipro link, and rumor has it that
there might be more in the future.
There are also other users of the greybus protocols, there is a talk
next week at ELC that shows how it is being used across a network
connection to control a device, and previous ELC talks have showed the
protocol stack being used over USB to drive embedded Linux boards.
I've also talked to some people who are starting to work to add a host
controller driver to control arduinos as the greybus PHY protocols are
very useful to control a serial/i2c/spio/whatever device across a
random physical link, as it is a way to have a self-describing device
be attached to a host without needing manual configuration.
So yes, people are using it, and there is still the chance that it
will show up in a phone/laptop/tablet/whatever from Google in the
future as well, the tech isn't dead, even if the original large phone
project happens to be"

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq departement proudly presents:
- A rework of the core infrastructure to optimally spread interrupt
for multiqueue devices. The first version was a bit naive and
failed to take thread siblings and other details into account.
Developed in cooperation with Christoph and Keith.
- Proper delegation of softirqs to ksoftirqd, so if ksoftirqd is
active then no further softirq processsing on interrupt return
happens. Otherwise we try to delegate and still run another batch
of network packets in the irq return path, which then tries to
delegate to ksoftirqd .....
- A proper machine parseable sysfs based alternative for
/proc/interrupts.
- ACPI support for the GICV3-ITS and ARM interrupt remapping
- Two new irq chips from the ARM SoC zoo: STM32-EXTI and MVEBU-PIC
- A new irq chip for the JCore (SuperH)
- The usual pile of small fixlets in core and irqchip drivers"
