f07eb223a0 dt/sound: Eliminate users of of_platform_{,un}register_driver
Get rid of users of of_platform_driver in drivers/sound.  The
of_platform_{,un}register_driver functions are going away, so the
users need to be converted to using the platform_bus_type directly.

a1e9c9dd33 ipmi: convert OF driver to platform driver
of_bus is deprecated in favor of the plain platform bus. This patch
merges the ipmi OF driver with the existing platform driver.

CONFIG_PPC_OF occurrances are removed or replaced with CONFIG_OF.

Compile tested with and without CONFIG_OF. Tested OF probe and
default probe cases.

710ac54be4 dt/powerpc: move of_bus_type infrastructure to ibmebus
arch/powerpc/kernel/ibmebus.c is the only remaining user of the
of_bus_type support code for initializing the bus and registering
drivers.  All others have either been switched to the vanilla platform
bus or already have their own infrastructure.

This patch moves the functionality that ibmebus is using out of
drivers/of/{platform,device}.c and into ibmebus.c where it is actually
used.  Also renames the moved symbols from of_platform_* to
ibmebus_bus_* to reflect the actual usage.

This patch is part of moving all of the of_platform_bus_type users
over to the platform_bus_type.

951f3512db drm/i915: Do not handle backlight combination mode specially
The current code does not follow Intel documentation: It misses some things
and does other, undocumented things. This causes wrong backlight values in
certain conditions. Instead of adding tricky code handling badly documented
and rare corner cases, don't handle combination mode specially at all. This
way PCI_LBPC is never touched and weird things shouldn't happen.

If combination mode is enabled, then the only downside is that changing the
brightness has a greater granularity (the LBPC value), but LBPC is at most
254 and the maximum is in the thousands, so this is no real functional loss.

A potential problem with not handling combined mode is that a brightness of
max * PCI_LBPC is not bright enough. However, this is very unlikely because
from the documentation LBPC seems to act as a scaling factor and doesn't look
like it's supposed to be changed after boot. The value at boot should always
result in a bright enough screen.

IMPORTANT: However, although usually the above is true, it may not be when
people ran an older (2.6.37) kernel which messed up the LBPC register, and
they are unlucky enough to have a BIOS that saves and restores the LBPC value.
Then a good kernel may seem to not work: Max brightness isn't bright enough.
If this happens people should boot back into the old kernel, set brightness
to the maximum, and then reboot. After that everything should be fine.

For more information see the below links. This fixes bugs:

98401ae434 platform-drivers: x86: pmic: Use request_irq instead of chained handler
There is no need to install a chained handler for this hardware. This
is a plain x86 IOAPIC interrupt which is handled by the core code
perfectly fine. There is nothing special about demultiplexing these
gpio interrupts which justifies a custom hack. Replace it by a plain
old interrupt handler installed with request_irq. That makes the code
agnostic about the underlying primary interrupt hardware. The overhead
for this is minimal, but it gives us the advantage of accounting,
balancing and to detect interrupt storms. gpio interrupts are not
really that performance critical.

55f9cf6bba eCryptfs: Copy up lower inode attrs in getattr
The lower filesystem may do some type of inode revalidation during a
getattr call. eCryptfs should take advantage of that by copying the
lower inode attributes to the eCryptfs inode after a call to
vfs_getattr() on the lower inode.

I originally wrote this fix while working on eCryptfs on nfsv3 support,
but discovered it also fixed an eCryptfs on ext4 nanosecond timestamp
bug that was reported.

53399053eb ARM: Ensure predictable endian state on signal handler entry
Ensure a predictable endian state when entering signal handlers.  This
avoids programs which use SETEND to momentarily switch their endian
state from having their signal handlers entered with an unpredictable
endian state.

dc810efb0c ARM: 6740/1: Place correctly notes section in the linker script
Commit 18991197b4 added --build-id
linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some
reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.

The 1e621a8e37 worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.

This problem was discussed here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial.

This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).

It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):

Section Headers:
  [11] .data             PROGBITS        c07ce000 7ce000 020fc0 00  WA  0   0 32
  [12] .notes            NOTE            c07eefc0 7eefc0 000024 00  AX  0   0  4
  [13] .bss              NOBITS          c07ef000 7eefe4 01e628 00  WA  0   0 32
Program Headers:
  LOAD           0x008000 0xc0008000 0xc0008000 0x7e6fe4 0x805628 RWE 0x8000
  NOTE           0x7eefc0 0xc07eefc0 0xc07eefc0 0x00024 0x00024 R E 0x4
Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...
   00     <...> .data .notes .bss
   01     .notes

and to get it exposed as /sys/kernel/notes used by perf tools.

readl() and writel() calls the outer cache maintainance operations
which are not available during Linux uncompression. This patch replaces
readl() and writel() with readl_relaxed() and writel_relaxed() to avoid
the link time errors.
