Some platforms need the pendown GPIO debounce time setting programmed.
Since the pendown GPIO is handled by the driver, the debounce time
should also be handled along with the pendown GPIO request.

<title>Input: tsc40 - remove wrong announcement of pressure support</title>

The tsc40 driver announces it supports the pressure event, but will never
send one. The announcement will cause tslib to wait for such events and
sending all touch events with a pressure of 0. Removing the announcement
will make tslib fall back to emulating the pressure on touch events so
everything works as expected.

The irq_to_gpio() is old, most platforms use GENERIC_GPIO framework
and don't support this API anymore.

The i.MX6q sabrelite platform equips an egalax touchscreen controller,
and this platform already transfered to GENERIC_GPIO framework, to
support this driver, we use a more generic way to get gpio.

Add a return value checking for waking up the controller in the probe
function, this guarantee only a workable device can pass init.

[dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com: Make driver depend on CONFIG_OF as it is
 now required.]

 "2nd round of updates for the input subsystem.  With it input core no
  longer limits number of character devices per event handler (such as
  evdev) to 32, but switches to dynamic minors once legacy range is
  exhausted.  This should get multi-seat installations that currently
  run our of event devices very quickly.

  You will also get an update for Wacom driver and a couple of driver
  fixes."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input:
  Input: extend the number of event (and other) devices
  Input: mousedev - mark mousedev interfaces as non-seekable
  Input: mousedev - rename mixdev_open to opened_by_mixdev
  Input: mousedev - reformat structure initializers
  Input: mousedev - factor out psaux code to reduce #ifdefery

Pull MFD changes from Samuel Ortiz:
 "MFD bits for the 3.7 merge window.

  As usual we have a few new drivers:

   - TI LP8788
   - TI OMAP USB TLL
   - Maxim MAX8907
   - SMSC ECE1099
   - Dialog Semiconductor DA9055
   - A simpler syscon driver that allow us to get rid of the anatop one.

  Drivers are also gradually getting Device Tree and IRQ domain support.

  The following drivers got DT support:
   - palmas, 88pm860x, tc3589x and twl4030-audio

  And those ones now use the IRQ domain APIs:
   - 88pm860x, tc3589x, db8500_prcmu

  Also some other interesting changes:
   - Intel's ICH LPC now supports Lynx Point
   - TI's twl4030-audio added a GPO child
   - tps6527 enabled its backlight subdevice
   - The twl6030 pwm driver moved to the new PWM subsystem

  And finally a bunch of cleanup and casual fixes for mc13xxx, 88pm860x,
  palmas, ab8500, wm8994, wm5110, max8907 and the tps65xxx family."

Fix up various annoying conflicts: the DT and IRQ domain support came in
twice and was already in 3.6. And then it was apparently rebased.

Guys, DON'T REBASE!

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
