Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

2014-01-31T01:20:32+00:00

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
  for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv".  The
  patch series describes this core as follows.

    "The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
     for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
     a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
     computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
     contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
     coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
     and optional floating point unit."

  The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families.  It adds
  support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
  BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
  and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.

  The rest of the series are cleanups and bug fixes that are MIPS
  generic and consist largely of changes that Imgtec/MIPS had published
  in their linux-mti-3.10.git stable tree.  Random other cleanups and
  patches preparing code to be merged in 3.15"

mips: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-24T21:39:56+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include .  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

MIPS: replace open-coded init_dsp

2014-01-24T21:39:45+00:00

There is already an init_dsp function which checks cpu_has_dsp & calls
__init_dsp if it does. Make use of it instead of duplicating the same
code.

MIPS: VPE: Remove vpe_getuid and vpe_getgid

     2600990e Ralf Baechle  2006-04-05  1090 	 	ret = getcwd(v->cwd, VPE_PATH_MAX);

When examining the code to see what v->uid and v->gid were used for I
discovered that the only users in the kernel are vpe_getuid and
vpe_getgid, and that vpe_getuid and vpe_getgid are never called.

So instead of proposing a conversion to use kuid_t and kgid_t instead
of unsigned int/int as I normally would let's just kill this dead code
so no one has to worry about it further.

This is a good catch. vpe_get[u|g]id was originally used by KSPD which
has been removed.
