Pull ARM SoC power management and clock changes from Olof Johansson:
 "This branch contains a largeish set of updates of power management and
  clock setup.  The bulk of it is for OMAP/AM33xx platforms, but also a
  few around hotplug/suspend/resume on Exynos.

  It includes a split-up of some of the OMAP clock data into separate
  files which adds to the diffstat, but gross delta is fairly reasonable."

2012-12-13T18:57:16+00:00

Pull ARM SoC multiplatform conversion patches from Olof Johansson:
 "Here are more patches in the progression towards multiplatform, sparse
  irq conversions in particular.

  Tegra has a handful of cleanups and general groundwork, but is not
  quite there yet on full enablement.

  Platforms that are enabled through this branch are VT8500 and Zynq.
  Note that i.MX was converted in one of the earlier cleanup branches as
  well (before we started a separate topic for multiplatform).  And both
  new platforms for this merge window, sunxi and bcm, were merged with
  multiplatform support enabled."

Fix up conflicts mostly as per Olof.

mtd: nand: typo in nand_id_has_period() comments

2012-12-13T11:39:45+00:00

The simple example provided in the comments for nand_id_has_period()
actually has a period of 3, not 2. Silly mistake...

mtd: nand/gpio: use io{read,write}*_rep accessors

2012-12-13T11:39:44+00:00

The {read,write}s{b,w,l} operations are not defined by all
architectures and are being removed from the asm-generic/io.h
interface.

This patch replaces the usage of these string functions in the mtd
gpio accessors with io{read,write}{8,16,32}_rep calls instead.

mtd: block2mtd: throttle writes by calling balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited.

2012-12-13T11:39:44+00:00

If you create a block2mtd device that is larger than main memory,
and write to all of it, then lots of pages will be dirtied but
they will never be flushed out as nothing calls any variant of
balance_dirty_pages.

It would be nice to call set_page_dirty_balance(), but that isn't exported,
so just call balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() directly.

mtd: nand: gpmi: reset BCH earlier, too, to avoid NAND startup problems

2012-12-13T11:39:32+00:00

It could happen (1 out of 100 times) that NAND did not start up
correctly after warm rebooting, so the kernel could not find the UBI or
DMA timed out due to a stalled BCH. When resetting BCH together with
GPMI, the issue could not be observed anymore (after 10000+ reboots). We
probably need the consistent state already before sending any command to
NAND, even when no ECC is needed. I chose to keep the extra reset for
BCH when changing the flash layout to be on the safe side.
