kdb <-> kgdb transitioning does not work properly with this UART
driver because the get character routine loops indefinitely as opposed
to returning NO_POLL_CHAR per the expectation of the KDB I/O driver
API.
The symptom is a kernel hang when trying to switch debug modes.

Without checking if the auart supports the hardware flow control or not,
the old mxs_auart_set_mctrl() asserted the RTS pin blindly.
This will causes the auart receives wrong data in the following case:
The far-end has already started the write operation, and wait for
the auart asserts the RTS pin. Then the auart starts the read operation,
but mxs_auart_set_mctrl() may be called before we set the RTSCTS in the
mxs_auart_settermios(). So the RTS pin is asserted in a wrong situation,
and we get the wrong data in the end.
This bug has been catched when I connect the mx23(DTE) to the mx53(DCE).
This patch also replaces the AUART_CTRL2_RTS with AUART_CTRL2_RTSEN.
We should use the real the hardware flow control, not the software-controled
hardware flow control.

This trivial patch adds a short description for SERIAL_CLPS711X Kconfig
entry, removes excess dependence on the ARM-platform (this is done
globally for the platform), allows the driver to be compiled by default
and removes unnecessary description about GRUB and LILO, because these
bootloaders do not supported this platform.

serial: sh-sci: prepare for conversion to the shdma base library

pch_uart_interrupt() takes priv->port.lock which leads to two recursive
spinlock calls if low_latency==1 or CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y (one
otherwise):
pch_uart_interrupt
spin_lock_irqsave(priv->port.lock, flags)
case PCH_UART_IID_RDR_TO (data ready)
handle_rx_to
push_rx
tty_port_tty_get
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock, flags) <--- already hold this lock
...
tty_flip_buffer_push
...
flush_to_ldisc
spin_lock_irqsave(&tty->buf.lock)
spin_lock_irqsave(&tty->buf.lock)
disc->ops->receive_buf(tty, char_buf)
n_tty_receive_buf
tty->ops->flush_chars()
uart_flush_chars
uart_start
spin_lock_irqsave(&port->lock) <--- already hold this lock
Avoid this by using a dedicated lock to protect the eg20t_port structure
and IO access to its membase. This is more consistent with the 8250
driver. Ensure priv->lock is always take prior to priv->port.lock when
taken at the same time.
V2: Remove inadvertent whitespace change.
V3: Account for oops_in_progress for the private lock in
pch_console_write().
Note: Like the 8250 driver, if a printk is introduced anywhere inside
the pch_console_write() critical section, the kernel will hang
on a recursive spinlock on the private lock. The oops case is
handled by using a trylock in the oops_in_progress case.

pm_restore_console() is called from the suspend/resume path, and this
calls vt_move_to_console(), which calls vt_waitactive().
There's a race in this path which causes the process which requests the
suspend to sleep indefinitely waiting for an event which already
happened:
P1 P2
vt_move_to_console()
set_console()
schedule_console_callback()
vt_waitactive()
check n == fg_console +1
console_callback()
switch_screen()
vt_event_post() // no waiters
vt_event_wait() // forever
Fix the race by ensuring we're registered for the event before we check
if it's already completed.

This branch contains two kinds of updates: Some platforms in the process
of getting converted to device tree based booting, and the platform
specific patches necessary for that are included here. Other platforms
are already converted, so we just need to update the actual device
tree source files and the binding documents to add support for new board
and new drivers.
In the future we will probably separate those into two branches, and
in the long run, the plan is to move the device tree source files out
of the kernel repository, but that has to wait until we have completed
a much larger portion of the binding documents.

Pull arm-soc device tree description updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"This branch contains two kinds of updates: Some platforms in the
process of getting converted to device tree based booting, and the
platform specific patches necessary for that are included here.
Other platforms are already converted, so we just need to update the
actual device tree source files and the binding documents to add
support for new board and new drivers.
In the future we will probably separate those into two branches, and
in the long run, the plan is to move the device tree source files out
of the kernel repository, but that has to wait until we have completed
a much larger portion of the binding documents."

no-op; interrupt randomness is now collected unconditionally in a very
low-overhead fashion; see commit 775f4b297b. The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM
flag was scheduled to be removed in 2009 on the
feature-removal-schedule, so this patch is preparation for the final

As the part of the effort to enable SPARE_IRQ for imx platform,
the macro MXC_INTERNAL_IRQS will be removed. The imx serial driver
has a references to it for a decision on flags of request_irq call
based on rtsirq is beyond MXC_INTERNAL_IRQS. However the searching
on imx platform code tells that rtsirq will never be beyond
MXC_INTERNAL_IRQS. That said, the check, consequently the reference
to MXC_INTERNAL_IRQS are not needed, so remove them.

We had a boot regression in Ux500 in the merge window because
two orthogonal pin control schemes for the PL011 were merged
at the same time:
- One using the .init() and .exit() hooks into the platform
for Ux500 putting the pins into default vs sleep state
respectively as the port was started/stopped.
commit a09806607f
"ARM: ux500: switch to using pinctrl for uart0"
- One hogging the default setting at PL011 probe()
commit 258e055111
"serial: amba-pl011: adopt pinctrl support"
To get a solution that works for both let's scrap the stuff
in the platform callbacks, instead have the driver itself
select default and sleep states when the port is
started/stopped. Hopefully this works for all clients.
Platform callbacks are bad for device tree migration anyway,
so this rids us of another problem in Ux500.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
complaints. The last change to the series was before the weekend the
removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
himself - appeared to raise objections. So I removed it until the
situation is clarified. Other than that all the patches have the acks
from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
series.
Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
flagship product, the FALCON SOC. It also means that the opensource
developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.
Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
chip variants, cleanups and fixes. Finally the usual dose of tweaking
of generic code."

This is caused by tty_release using tty_lock_pair to lock both sides of

side only. We can drop both fine, so drop both to avoid any lock

The ptmx_open path takes the tty and devpts locks in the wrong order
because tty_init_dev locks and returns a locked tty. As far as I can
tell this is actually safe anyway because the tty being returned is new
so nobody can get a reference to lock it at this point.
However we don't even need the devpts lock at this point, it's only held
as a byproduct of the way the locks were pushe down.

We need to make sure that those parameters are setup to be correct.
As such the value of 0 is deemed invalid and we find that we
bail out. The hypervisor sets by default all of them to be zero
and when the hypercall is done does a simple:
a.value = d->arch.hvm_domain.params[a.index];
Which means that if the Xen toolstack forgot to setup the proper
HVM_PARAM_CONSOLE_EVTCHN (or the PFN one), we would get the
default value of 0 and use that.

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61a: "drivers/net:
