Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Olof Johansson:
 "Driver updates for v4.1.  Some of these are for drivers/soc, where we
  find more and more SoC-specific drivers these days.  Some are for
  other driver subsystems where we have received acks from the
  appropriate maintainers.

  The larger parts of this branch are:

   - MediaTek support for their PMIC wrapper interface, a high-level
     interface for talking to the system PMIC over a dedicated I2C
     interface.

   - Qualcomm SCM driver has been moved to drivers/firmware.  It's used
     for CPU up/down and needs to be in a shared location for arm/arm64
     common code.

   - cleanup of ARM-CCI PMU code.

   - another set of cleanusp to the OMAP GPMC code"

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big tty/serial driver update for 4.1-rc1.

  It was delayed for a bit due to some questions surrounding some of the
  console command line parsing changes that are in here.  There's still
  one tiny regression for people who were previously putting multiple
  console command lines and expecting them all to be ignored for some
  odd reason, but Peter is working on fixing that.  If not, I'll send a
  revert for the offending patch, but I have faith that Peter can
  address it.

  Other than the console work here, there's the usual serial driver
  updates and changes, and a buch of 8250 reworks to try to make that
  driver easier to maintain over time, and have it support more devices
  in the future.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while"

<id>a643375f4b175569bc3c03c7a3e758f845c1ccd9</id>
<content type='text'>
When allocating memory for the copy of the FDT that the stub
modifies and passes to the kernel, it uses the current size as
an estimate of how much memory to allocate, and increases it page
by page if it turns out to be too small. However, when loading
the FDT from a UEFI configuration table, the estimated size is
left at its default value of zero, and the allocation loop runs
starting from zero all the way up to the allocation size that
finally fits the updated FDT.

Instead, retrieve the size of the FDT from the FDT header when
loading it from the UEFI config table.

<content type='text'>
dmi_num is a u16, dmi_len is a u32, so this construct:

	dmi_num = dmi_len / 4;

would result in an integer overflow for a DMI table larger than
256 kB. I've never see such a large table so far, but SMBIOS 3.0
makes it possible so maybe we'll see such tables in the future.

So instead of faking a structure count when the entry point does
not provide it, adjust the loop condition in dmi_table() to properly
deal with the case where dmi_num is not set.

This bug was introduced with the initial SMBIOS 3.0 support in commit
fc43026278b2 ("dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point").

There is no reason to pass static vars to function that can use
only them.

The dmi_table() can use only dmi_len and dmi_num static vars, so use
them directly. In this case we can freely change their type in one
place and slightly decrease redundancy.
