 "Summary:

   - pxafb: device-tree support
   - An unsafe kernel parameter 'lockless_register_fb' for debugging
     problems happening while inside the console lock
   - Small miscellaneous fixes &amp; cleanups
   - omapdss: add writeback support functions
   - Separation of omapfb and omapdrm (see below)

  About the separation of omapfb and omapdrm, see

    http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/143151

  for longer story.  The short version:

  omapfb and omapdrm have shared low level drivers (omapdss and panel
  drivers), making further development of omapdrm difficult.  After
  these patches omapfb and omapdrm have their own versions of the
  drivers, which are more or less direct copies for now but will diverge
  soon.

  This also means that omapfb (everything under drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/)
  is now in maintenance mode, and all new development will be done for
  omapdrm (drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/)"

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "Here is the bulk of GPIO changes for v4.5.

  Notably there are big refactorings mostly by myself, aimed at getting
  the gpio_chip into a shape that makes me believe I can proceed to
  preserve state for a proper userspace ABI (character device) that has
  already been proposed once, but resulted in the feedback that I need
  to go back and restructure stuff.  So I've been restructuring stuff.
  On the way I ran into brokenness (return code from the get_value()
  callback) and had to fix it.  Also, refactored generic GPIO to be
  simpler.

  Some of that is still waiting to trickle down from the subsystems all
  over the kernel that provide random gpio_chips, I've touched every
  single GPIO driver in the kernel now, oh man I didn't know I was
  responsible for so much...

  Apart from that we're churning along as usual.

  I took some effort to test and retest so it should merge nicely and we
  shook out a couple of bugs in -next.

  Infrastructural changes:

   - In struct gpio_chip, rename the .dev node to .parent to better
     reflect the fact that this is not the GPIO struct device
     abstraction.  We will add that soon so this would be totallt
     confusing.

   - It was noted that the driver .get_value() callbacks was sometimes
     reporting negative -ERR values to the gpiolib core, expecting them
     to be propagated to consumer gpiod_get_value() and gpio_get_value()
     calls.  This was not happening, so as there was a mess of drivers
     returning negative errors and some returning "anything else than
     zero" to indicate that a line was active.  As some would have bit
     31 set to indicate "line active" it clashed with negative error
     codes.  This is fixed by the largeish series clamping values in all
     drivers with !!value to [0,1] and then augmenting the code to
     propagate error codes to consumers.  (Includes some ACKed patches
     in other subsystems.)

   - Add a void *data pointer to struct gpio_chip.  The container_of()
     design pattern is indeed very nice, but we want to reform the
     struct gpio_chip to be a non-volative, stateless business, and keep
     states internal to the gpiolib to be able to hold on to the state
     when adding a proper userspace ABI (character device) further down
     the road.  To achieve this, drivers need a handle at the internal
     state that is not dependent on their struct gpio_chip() so we add
     gpiochip_add_data() and gpiochip_get_data() following the pattern
     of many other subsystems.  All the "use gpiochip data pointer"
     patches transforms drivers to this scheme.

   - The Generic GPIO chip header has been merged into the general
     &lt;linux/gpio/driver.h&gt; header, and the custom header for that
     removed.  Instead of having a separate mm_gpio_chip struct for
     these generic drivers, merge that into struct gpio_chip,
     simplifying the code and removing the need for separate and
     confusing includes.

  Misc improvements:

   - Stabilize the way GPIOs are looked up from the ACPI legacy
     specification.

   - Incremental driver features for PXA, PCA953X, Lantiq (patches from
     the OpenWRT community), RCAR, Zynq, PL061, 104-idi-48

  New drivers:

   - Add a GPIO chip to the ALSA SoC AC97 driver.

   - Add a new Broadcom NSP SoC driver (this lands in the pinctrl dir,
     but the branch is merged here too to account for infrastructural
     changes).

   - The sx150x driver now supports the sx1502"

<id>02f22c004ff2ab0ce1f2fa3cc6a87cf20a4fed40</id>
<content type='text'>
A recent patch I did fixed two potential uses of uninitialized
variables in the adp8870 and adp8860 drivers. Unfortunately,
I missed another one:

drivers/video/backlight/adp8860_bl.c: In function 'adp8860_bl_ambient_light_level_show':
drivers/video/backlight/adp8860_bl.c:570:11: warning: 'reg_val' may be used uninitialized in this function

This does the same change as before in one additional function,
and also changes the check for the return value in a way that
avoids another false positive warning with a similar message.

A recent patch I did fixed two potential uses of uninitialized
variables in the adp8870 and adp8860 drivers. Unfortunately,
I missed another one:

drivers/video/backlight/adp8860_bl.c: In function 'adp8860_bl_ambient_light_level_show':
drivers/video/backlight/adp8860_bl.c:570:11: warning: 'reg_val' may be used uninitialized in this function

This does the same change as before in one additional function,
and also changes the check for the return value in a way that
avoids another false positive warning with a similar message.

<title>backlight: gpio-backlight: Use default-on on GPIO request</title>

There are situations where the backlight should be on at boot time
(e.g. if the boot loader already turned the display on). The DT
bindings specify the "default-on" property for that purpose.
Currently, the initial state of the GPIO at request time is always
set to logical off (high or low depending on whether it is an
active high or low GPIO). Since the GPIO is requested as an output,
the GPIO will be driven low for a short period of time, which leads
to a flickering display in the above use-case.

Initialize the GPIO depending on the default-on property to be
logical on or off.

<title>backlight: pwm_bl: Fix broken PWM backlight for non-dt platforms</title>

Commit ee65ad0e2a9e ("backlight: pwm_bl: Avoid backlight flicker when
probed from DT") tries to dereference the device of_node pointer
unconditionally, causing a NULL pointer dereference on non-dt platforms.
Fix it by replacing the phandle variable with a node variable and
by checking that for NULL before dereferencing it.
