i2c: add ACPI support for I2C mux ports

2015-10-25T14:49:46+00:00

Although I2C mux devices are easily enumerated using ACPI (_HID/_CID or
device property compatible string match), enumerating I2C client devices
connected through an I2C mux needs a little extra work.

This change implements a method for describing an I2C device hierarchy that
includes mux devices by using an ACPI Device() for each mux channel along
with an _ADR to set the channel number for the device.  See
Documentation/acpi/i2c-muxes.txt for a simple example.

To make this work the ismt, i801, and designware pci/platform devs now
share an ACPI companion with their I2C adapter dev similar to how it's done
in OF.  This is done on the assumption that power management functions will
not be called directly on the I2C dev that is sharing the ACPI node.

mfd: core: redo ACPI matching of the children devices

2015-10-23T19:55:46+00:00

There is at least one board on the market, i.e. Intel Galileo Gen2, that uses
_ADR to distinguish the devices under one actual device. Due to this we have to
improve the quirk in the MFD core to handle that board.

ACPI: Constify ACPI device IDs in documentation

2015-06-18T23:14:15+00:00

ACPI device ID arrays normally don't need to be written to as they're
only ever read. The common usage -- embedding pointers to acpi_device_id
arrays in other data structures -- reference them as 'const', e.g. as in
struct acpi_driver / acpi_scan_handler / device_driver. The matchers are
taking const pointers, too. So it's only natural, to propose using const
arrays. Change the documentation accordingly.

ACPI / documentation: fix a sentence about GPIO resources

2015-04-30T21:38:13+00:00

The sentence "These resources are used be used to pass ..." contains
a suspicious repetition, likely the author meant "These resources can
be used to pass ...".

Simplify the wording.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few
  items that sort of fall into the new feature category.

  First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to
  handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way.

  There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API
  area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from
  platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data.

  We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new
  chips and a new cpufreq driver too.

  Specifics:

   - Generic PM domains support update including new PM domain callbacks
     to handle device initialization better (Russell King, Rafael J
     Wysocki, Kevin Hilman)

   - Unified device properties API update including a new mechanism for
     accessing data provided by platform initialization code (Rafael J
     Wysocki, Adrian Hunter)

   - ARM cpuidle update including ARM32/ARM64 handling consolidation
     (Daniel Lezcano)

   - intel_idle update including support for the Silvermont Core in the
     Baytrail SOC and for the Airmont Core in the Cherrytrail and
     Braswell SOCs (Len Brown, Mathias Krause)

   - New cpufreq driver for Hisilicon ACPU (Leo Yan)

   - intel_pstate update including support for the Knights Landing chip
     (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli, Kristen Carlson Accardi)

   - QorIQ cpufreq driver update (Tang Yuantian, Arnd Bergmann)

   - powernv cpufreq driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat)

   - devfreq update including Tegra support changes (Tomeu Vizoso,
     MyungJoo Ham, Chanwoo Choi)

   - powercap RAPL (Running-Average Power Limit) driver update including
     support for Intel Broadwell server chips (Jacob Pan, Mathias Krause)

   - ACPI device enumeration update related to the handling of the
     special PRP0001 device ID allowing DT-style 'compatible' property
     to be used for ACPI device identification (Rafael J Wysocki)

   - ACPI EC driver update including limited _DEP support (Lan Tianyu,
     Lv Zheng)

   - ACPI backlight driver update including a new mechanism to allow
     native backlight handling to be forced on non-Windows 8 systems and
     a new quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Aaron Lu, Hans de Goede)

   - New Windows Vista compatibility quirk for Sony VGN-SR19XN (Chen Yu)

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Aaron Lu, Martin Kepplinger,
     Masanari Iida, Mika Westerberg, Nan Li, Rafael J Wysocki)

   - Fixes related to suspend-to-idle for the iTCO watchdog driver and
     the ACPI core system suspend/resume code (Rafael J Wysocki, Chen Yu)

   - PM tracing support for the suspend phase of system suspend/resume
     transitions (Zhonghui Fu)

   - Configurable delay for the system suspend/resume testing facility
     (Brian Norris)

   - PNP subsystem cleanups (Peter Huewe, Rafael J Wysocki)"
