* Fix a regression in hid sensors suspend time as a result of adding runtime pm. The normal flow of waking up devices in order to go into suspend (given the devices are normally suspended when not reading) to a regression in suspend time on some laptops (reports of an additional 8 seconds). Fix this by checking to see if a user action resulting in the wake up, and make it a null operation if it didn't. Note that for hid sensors, there is nothing useful to be done when moving into a full suspend from a runtime suspend so they might as well be left alone. * rochip_saradc: fix some missing MODULE_* data including the licence so that the driver does not taint the kernel incorrectly and can build as a module. * twl4030 - mark irq as oneshot as it always should have been. * inv-mpu - write formats for attributes not specified, leading to miss interpretation of the gyro scale channel when written. * Proximity ABI clarification. This had snuck through as a mess. Some drivers thought proximity went in one direction, some the other. We went with the most common option, documented it and fixed up the drivers going the other way. Fix for sx9500 included in this set. * ad624r - fix a wrong shift in the output data. * at91_adc - remove a false limit on the value of the STARTUP register applied by too small a type for the device tree parameter. * cm3323 - clear the bits when setting the integration time (otherwise we can only ever set more bits in the relevant field). * bmc150-accel - multiple triggers are registered, but on error were not being unwound in the opposite order leading to removal of triggers that had not yet successfully been registered (count down instead of up when unwinding). * tcs3414 - ensure right part of val / val2 pair read so that the integration time is not always 0. * cc10001_adc - bug in kconfig dependency. Use of OR when AND was intended. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJVpA2CAAoJEFSFNJnE9BaIJGEP/2uXFSqOZhmJ9sGqICSgKj4W OUjDtpXpKWxLC3Fypzvzg5u00R1t2likfvhXP2RsF5+/mqPb8NS6qzdcKMPCyxEl 5tvsmYHm9yxN8o3ZZqtgYaR4mYt5tH4dFZ9qHpbFeNAXGjTRrYhGbgmLnND0v7cA 5L1ABLls8ntoJ1aZZDsofwnmnUgclW5yqQZZ+huNkwaOpUQLke9tEL18cv+bsVgS zw7j/t3oJVdcUB9OTB7T/sW9J0+W7XnXogATHksHdHh2cd5N7wh/EZ1bet69QUrI PD2q2+0MUwyBMWDPveyWfm7XbS66lYxIRCmWZp+69Q1c/V91srhSPfh0kPcvHSQ1 Uzpba6oSFPlFyDAtXWhaSEBzjXaHwKBIQvIVYOKiE6JdrbsnSg4GHAcF8TMhGtwT SDDgfb+cxOm6Vb4ws0+i15HMEiXpeK8AiJfHmLvau3OnA69/xzxHqqSg/oCO6/ES IzoAMqIVEk3L5gu88qgnmWzmyWp1pyTf1u+Kr+gAXNdSF/b3wgVkGn2X9hNRQ4g/ XEFAD1PzarBnv1ce/HfWi+9/aUwv08nXHxBe4Yx3bfle2RUQKmFSbksVkCwu+ha3 E4jPs5Cf9MrHO4gbuFaZX2+bFYlMdbcEWVRcP/3CHUuxeixGwemOsak1L+J5h6+e 2xVEkGeywVdmDOsan1B8 =mBqw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'iio-fixes-for-4.2a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-linus Jonathan writes: First set of IIO fixes for the 4.2 cycle. * Fix a regression in hid sensors suspend time as a result of adding runtime pm.

This directory attempts to document the ABI between the Linux kernel and userspace, and the relative stability of these interfaces. Due to the everchanging nature of Linux, and the differing maturity levels, these interfaces should be used by userspace programs in different ways. We have four different levels of ABI stability, as shown by the four different subdirectories in this location. Interfaces may change levels of stability according to the rules described below. The different levels of stability are: stable/ This directory documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable. Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years. Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be available. testing/ This directory documents interfaces that are felt to be stable, as the main development of this interface has been completed. The interface can be changed to add new features, but the current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave errors or security problems are found in them. Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to be marked stable. Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel developers can easily notify them if any changes occur (see the description of the layout of the files below for details on how to do this.) obsolete/ This directory documents interfaces that are still remaining in the kernel, but are marked to be removed at some later point in time. The description of the interface will document the reason why it is obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed. removed/ This directory contains a list of the old interfaces that have been removed from the kernel. Every file in these directories will contain the following information: What: Short description of the interface Date: Date created KernelVersion: Kernel version this feature first showed up in. Contact: Primary contact for this interface (may be a mailing list) Description: Long description of the interface and how to use it. Users: All users of this interface who wish to be notified when it changes. This is very important for interfaces in the "testing" stage, so that kernel developers can work with userspace developers to ensure that things do not break in ways that are unacceptable. It is also important to get feedback for these interfaces to make sure they are working in a proper way and do not need to be changed further. How things move between levels: Interfaces in stable may move to obsolete, as long as the proper notification is given. Interfaces may be removed from obsolete and the kernel as long as the documented amount of time has gone by. Interfaces in the testing state can move to the stable state when the developers feel they are finished. They cannot be removed from the kernel tree without going through the obsolete state first. It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they wish for it to start out in. Notable bits of non-ABI, which should not under any circumstances be considered stable: - Kconfig. Userspace should not rely on the presence or absence of any particular Kconfig symbol, in /proc/config.gz, in the copy of .config commonly installed to /boot, or in any invocation of the kernel build process. - Kernel-internal symbols. Do not rely on the presence, absence, location, or type of any kernel symbol, either in System.map files or the kernel binary itself. See Documentation/stable_api_nonsense.txt.
