[ Upstream commit 1363074667a6b7d0507527742ccd7bbed5e3ceaa ]

Add a new NO_REPORT_LUNS quirk and set it for Seagate drives with
an usb-id of: 0bc2:331a, as these will fail to respond to a
REPORT_LUNS command.

[ Upstream commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 ]

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

<title>of_mdio: add new DT property 'managed' to specify the PHY management type</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4cba5c2103657d43d0886e4cff8004d95a3d0def ]

Currently the PHY management type is selected by the MAC driver arbitrary.
The decision is based on the presence of the "fixed-link" node and on a
will of the driver's authors.
This caused a regression recently, when mvneta driver suddenly started
to use the in-band status for auto-negotiation on fixed links.
It appears the auto-negotiation may not work when expected by the MAC driver.
Sebastien Rannou explains:
&lt;&lt; Yes, I confirm that my HW does not generate an in-band status. AFAIK, it's
a PHY that aggregates 4xSGMIIs to 1xQSGMII ; the MAC side of the PHY (with
inband status) is connected to the switch through QSGMII, and in this context
we are on the media side of the PHY. &gt;&gt;
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/7/10/206

This patch introduces the new string property 'managed' that allows
the user to set the management type explicitly.
The supported values are:
"auto" - default. Uses either MDIO or nothing, depending on the presence
of the fixed-link node
"in-band-status" - use in-band status

The current "mask" policy option matches files opened as MAY_READ,
MAY_WRITE, MAY_APPEND or MAY_EXEC.  This patch extends the "mask"
option to match files opened containing one of these modes.  For
example, "mask=^MAY_READ" would match files opened read-write.

The new "euid" policy condition measures files with the specified
effective uid (euid).  In addition, for CAP_SETUID files it measures
files with the specified uid or suid.

- fixed checkpatch.pl warnings
- fixed avc denied {setuid} messages - based on Roberto's feedback
