gpio-v4.9-1
e0852940 · ·This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v4.9 series: Subsystem improvements: - Do away with the last users of the obsolete Kconfig options ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB (the latter always sounded like an item on a wishlist to Santa Claus to me). We can now select GPIOLIB and be done with it, for all archs. After some struggle it even work on UM. Not that it has GPIO, but if it wants to, it can select the library. - Continued efforts to make drivers properly either tristate or bool. - Introduce a warning for drivers assigning default triggers to their irqchip lines when probed from device tree, so we find and fix these ambigous drivers. It is agreed that in the OF config path, the device tree defines trigger characteristics. - The same warning, mutatis mutandis, for ACPI-probed GPIO irqchips. - We introduce the ability to mark certain IRQ lines as "unusable" as they can be taken by BIOS/firmware, unrouted in silicon and generally nasty if you use them, and such things. This is put to good use in the STMPE driver and also in the Cherryview pin control driver. - A new "mockup" virtual GPIO device that can be used for testing. The plan is to add unit tests under tools/* for exercising this device and verify that the kernel code paths are working as they should. - Make memory-mapped I/O-drivers depend on HAS_IOMEM. This was implicit all the time, but when people started building UM with allyesconfig or allmodconfig it exploded in their face. - Move some stray bits of device tree and ACPI HW description callbacks down into their respective implementation silo. These were causing issues when compiling on !HAS_IOMEM as well, so now eventually UM compiles the GPIOLIB library if it wants to. New drivers: - New driver for the Aspeed GPIO front-end companion to the pin controller merged through the pin control tree. - New driver for the LP873x PMIC GPIO portions. - New driver for Technologic Systems' I2C FPGA GPIO such as TS4900, TS-7970, TS-7990 and TS-4100. - New driver for the Broadcom BCM63xx series including BCM6338 and BCM6345. - New driver for the Intel WhiskeyCove PMIC GPIO. - New driver for the Allwinner AXP209 PMIC GPIO portions. - New driver for Diamond Systems 48 line GPIO-MM, another of these port-mapped I/O expansion cards. - Support the STMicroelectronics STMPE1600 variant in the STMPE driver. Driver improvements: - The STMPE driver now supports rising/falling edge detection properly for IRQs. - The PCA954x will now fetch and enable its VCC regulator properly. - Major rework of the PCA953x driver with the goal of eventually switching it over to use regmap and thus modernize it even more. - Switch the IOP driver to use the generic MMIO GPIO library. - Move the ages old HTC EGPIO (extended GPIO) GPIO expander driver over to this subsystem from MFD, achieveing some separation of concerns.

acpi-4.9-rc1
8c4b1721 · ·ACPI material for v4.9-rc1 - Update of the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20160831 with the following major changes: * New mechanism for GPE masking. * Fixes for issues related to the LoadTable operator and table loading. * Fixes for issues related to so-called module-level code (MLC), that is AML that doesn't belong to any methods. * Change of the return value of the _OSI method to reflect the Windows behavior. * GAS (Generic Address Structure) support fix related to 32-bit FADT addresses. * Elimination of unnecessary FADT version 2 support. * ACPI tools fixes and cleanups. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim. - ACPI sysfs interface updates to fix GPE handling (on top of the new GPE masking mechanism in ACPICA) and issues related to table loading (Lv Zheng). - New watchdog driver based on the ACPI WDAT (ACPI Watchdog Action Table), needed on some platforms to replace the iTCO watchdog that doesn't work there and related updates of the intel_pmc_ipc, i2c/i801 and MFD/lcp_ich drivers (Mika Westerberg). - Driver core fix to prevent it from leaking secondary fwnode objects during device removal (Lukas Wunner). - New definitions of built-in properties for UART in ACPI-based x86 SoC drivers and a 8250_dw driver quirk for the APM X-Gene SoC (Heikki Krogerus). - New device ID for the Vulcan SPI controller and constification of local strucures in the AMD SoC (APD) ACPI driver (Kamlakant Patel, Julia Lawall). - Fix for a bug causing the allocation of PCI resorces to fail if ACPI-enumerated child platform devices are registered below the PCI devices in question (Mika Westerberg). - Change of the default polarity for PCI legacy IRQs to high on systems booting wth ACPI on platforms with a GIC interrupt controller model fixing the discrepancy between the specification and HW behavior (Lorenzo Pieralisi). - Fixes for the handling of system suspend/resume in the ACPI EC driver and update of that driver to make it cope with the cases when the EC device defined in the ECDT has to be used throughout the entire system life cycle (Lv Zheng). - Update of the ACPI CPPC library to allow it to batch requests sent over the PCC channel (to reduce overhead), to support the fixed functional hardware (FFH) CPPC registers access type, to notify the mailbox framework about TX completions when the interrupt flag is set for the PCC mailbox, and to support HW-Reduced Communication Subspace type 2 (Ashwin Chaugule, Prashanth Prakash, Srinivas Pandruvada, Hoan Tran). - ACPI button driver fix and documentation update related to the handling of laptop lids (Lv Zheng). - ACPI battery driver initialization fix (Carlos Garnacho). - ACPI GPIO enumeration documentation update (Mika Westerberg). - Assorted updates of the core ACPI bus type code (Lukas Wunner, Lv Zheng). - Assorted cleanups of the ACPI table parsing code and the x86-specific ACPI code (Al Stone). - Fixes for assorted ACPI-related issues found in linux-next (Wei Yongjun). -

993eb0ae · ·Power management material for v4.9-rc1 - Add a mechanism for passing hints from the scheduler to cpufreq governors via their utilization update callbacks and use it to introduce "IOwait boosting" into the schedutil governor and intel_pstate that will make them boost performance if the enqueued task was previously waiting on I/O (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix a schedutil governor problem that causes it to overestimate utilization if SMT is in use (Steve Muckle). - Update defconfigs trying to use the schedutil governor as a module which is not possible any more (Javier Martinez Canillas). - Update the intel_pstate's pstate_sample tracepoint to take "IOwait boosting" into account (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Fix a problem in the cpufreq core causing it to mishandle the initialization of CPUs registered after the cpufreq driver (Viresh Kumar, Rafael Wysocki). - Make the cpufreq-dt driver support per-policy governor tunables, clean it up and update its Kconfig description (Viresh Kumar). - Add support for more ARM platforms to the cpufreq-dt driver (Chanwoo Choi, Dave Gerlach, Geert Uytterhoeven). - Make the cpufreq CPPC driver report frequencies in KHz to avoid user space compatiblility issues (Al Stone, Hoan Tran). - Clean up a few cpufreq drivers (st, kirkwood, SCPI) a bit (Colin Ian King, Markus Elfring). - Constify some local structures in the intel_pstate driver (Julia Lawall). - Add a Documentation/cpu-freq/ entry to MAINTAINERS (Jean Delvare). - Add support for PM domain removal to the generic power domains (genpd) framework, add new DT helper functions to it and make it always enable debugfs support if available (Jon Hunter, Tomeu Vizoso). - Clean up the generic power domains (genpd) framework and make it avoid measuring power-on and power-off latencies during system-wide PM transitions (Ulf Hansson). - Add support for the RockChip DFI controller and the rk3399 DMC to the devfreq framework (Lin Huang, Axel Lin, Arnd Bergmann). - Add COMPILE_TEST to the devfreq framework (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Stephen Rothwell). - Fix a minor issue in the exynos-ppmu devfreq driver and fix up devfreq Kconfig indentation style (Wei Yongjun, Jisheng Zhang). - Fix the system suspend interface to make suspend-to-idle work if platform suspend operations have not been registered (Sudeep Holla). - Make it possible to use hibernation with PAGE_POISONING_ZERO enabled (Anisse Astier). - Increas the default timeout of the system suspend/resume watchdog and make it depend on EXPERT (Chen Yu). - Make the operating performance points (OPP) framework avoid using OPPs that aren't supported by the platform and fix a build warning in it (Dave Gerlach, Arnd Bergmann). - Fix the ARM cpuidle driver's return value (Christophe Jaillet). - Make the SmartReflex AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) driver use more common logging style (Joe Perches).
