[ Upstream commit 5512442553bbe8d4fcdba3e17b30f187706384a7 ]

Beside regular feed control interrupt, the driver requires also hash
interrupt for older SoCs (samsung,s5pv210-secss). However after
requesting it, the interrupt handler isn't doing anything with it, not
even clearing the hash interrupt bit.

Driver does not provide hash functions so it is safe to remove the hash
interrupt related code and to not require the interrupt in Device Tree.

[ Upstream commit 17dcc37e3e847bc0e67a5b1ec52471fcc6c18682 ]

On some SOCs PORTS_IMPL register value is never programmed by the
firmware and left at zero value. Which means that no sata ports are
available for software. AHCI driver used to cope up with this by
fabricating the port_map if the PORTS_IMPL register is read zero,
but recent patch broke this workaround as zero value was valid for
NVMe disks.

This patch adds ports-implemented DT bindings as workaround for this issue
in a way that DT can can override the PORTS_IMPL register in cases where
the firmware did not program it already.

[ 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
