 "Here are some tty and serial driver fixes for your 3.7-rc1 tree.

  serial driver bugfixes that solve problems people have been reporting

  this tree.)

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while.

commit 2655a2c76f80d91da34faa8f4e114d1793435ed3 ("8250: use the 8250
register interface not the legacy one") forgot to fully switch one
instance of struct uart_port to struct uart_8250_port, causing the
following compile failure:

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_hp300.c: In function ‘hpdca_init_one’:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_hp300.c:174: error: ‘uart’ undeclared (first use in this function)

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_hp300.c:174: error: for each function it appears in.)

This went unnoticed in -next, as CONFIG_HPDCA is not set to y by
allmodconfig.

It was already pointed out how to fix these cases before the offending
patches were merged, but unsurprisingly, that didn't happen. As this
change is entirely superfluous to begin with, simply shut things up by
casting everything away.

It is a common enough mistake for people to specify "kdb" when they
meant to type "kbd" that the kgdboc can just accept both since they
both mean the same thing anyway.  Specifically it is for the case
where you want kdb to be active on your graphics console + keyboard
(where kbd was the original abbreviation for keyboard).

With this change kgdboc will now accept either to mean the same thing:
   kgdboc=kbd
   kgdboc=kdb

The build even tells you that this is a bad thing:

drivers/tty/serial/sccnxp: struct platform_device_id is 32 bytes.  The
last of 8 is:
0x73 0x63 0x36 0x38 0x36 0x39 0x32 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
FATAL: drivers/tty/serial/sccnxp: struct platform_device_id is not
terminated with a NULL entry!

So fix this problem up before someone oopses their box when loading the
driver, as this breaks the build.

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.

* 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (46 commits)
  workqueue: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()) from try_to_grab_pending()
  workqueue: use cwq_set_max_active() helper for workqueue_set_max_active()
  workqueue: introduce cwq_set_max_active() helper for thaw_workqueues()

  workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding
  workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding
  workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding

  workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()
  workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue
  workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work

* 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (46 commits)
  workqueue: remove spurious WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq()) from try_to_grab_pending()
  workqueue: use cwq_set_max_active() helper for workqueue_set_max_active()
  workqueue: introduce cwq_set_max_active() helper for thaw_workqueues()
  workqueue: remove @delayed from cwq_dec_nr_in_flight()
  workqueue: fix possible stall on try_to_grab_pending() of a delayed work item
  workqueue: use hotcpu_notifier() for workqueue_cpu_down_callback()
  workqueue: use __cpuinit instead of __devinit for cpu callbacks
  workqueue: rename manager_mutex to assoc_mutex
  workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for idle rebinding
  workqueue: WORKER_REBIND is no longer necessary for busy rebinding
  workqueue: reimplement idle worker rebinding
  workqueue: deprecate __cancel_delayed_work()
  workqueue: reimplement cancel_delayed_work() using try_to_grab_pending()
  workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue
  workqueue: use irqsafe timer for delayed_work
  workqueue: clean up delayed_work initializers and add missing one
  workqueue: make deferrable delayed_work initializer names consistent
  workqueue: cosmetic whitespace updates for macro definitions
  workqueue: deprecate system_nrt[_freezable]_wq
  workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()

Pull ARM soc multiplatform enablement from Olof Johansson:
 "This is a pretty significant branch.  It's the introduction of the
  first multiplatform support on ARM, and with this (and the later
  branch) merged, it is now possible to build one kernel that contains
  support for highbank, vexpress, mvebu, socfpga, and picoxcell.  More
  platforms will be convered over in the next few releases.

  Two critical last things had to be done for this to be practical and
  possible:
   * Today each platform has its own include directory under
     mach-&lt;mach&gt;/include/mach/*, and traditionally that is where a lot
     of driver/platform shared definitions have gone, such as platform
     data structures.  They now need to move out to a common location
     instead, and this branch moves a large number of those out to
     include/linux/platform_data.
   * Each platform used to list the device trees to compile for its
     boards in mach-&lt;mach&gt;/Makefile.boot.

  Both of the above changes will mean that there are some merge
  conflicts to come (and some to resolve here).  It's a one-time move
  and once it settles in, we should be good for quite a while.  Sorry
  for the overhead."

Fix conflicts as per Olof.
