Pull chrome platform updates from Olof Johansson:
 "Here's the branch of chrome platform changes for v4.4.  Some have been
  queued up for the full 4.3 release cycle since I forgot to send them
  in for that round (rebased early on to deal with fixes conflicts).

  Most of these enable EC communication stuff -- Pixel 2015 support,
  enabling building for ARM64 platforms, and a few fixes for memory
  leaks.

  There's also a patch in here to allow reading/writing the verified
  boot context, which depends on a sysfs patch acked by Greg"

Pull final round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "Sorry for the delay in this patch which was mostly caused by getting
  the merger of the mpt2/mpt3sas driver, which was seen as an essential
  item of maintenance work to do before the drivers diverge too much.
  Unfortunately, this caused a compile failure (detected by linux-next),
  which then had to be fixed up and incubated.

  In addition to the mpt2/3sas rework, there are updates from pm80xx,
  lpfc, bnx2fc, hpsa, ipr, aacraid, megaraid_sas, storvsc and ufs plus
  an assortment of changes including some year 2038 issues, a fix for a
  remove before detach issue in some drivers and a couple of other minor
  issues"

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "This series contains HCH's changes to absorb configfs attribute
  ->show() + ->store() function pointer usage from it's original
  tree-wide consumers, into common configfs code.

  It includes usb-gadget, target w/ drivers, netconsole and ocfs2
  changes to realize the improved simplicity, that now renders the
  original include/target/configfs_macros.h CPP magic for fabric drivers
  and others, unnecessary and obsolete.

  And with common code in place, new configfs attributes can be added
  easier than ever before.

  Note, there are further improvements in-flight from other folks for
  v4.5 code in configfs land, plus number of target fixes for post -rc1
  code"

In the meantime, a new user of the now-removed old configfs API came in
through the char/misc tree in commit 7bd1d4093c2f ("stm class: Introduce
an abstraction for System Trace Module devices").

This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm
class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old
show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit 517982229f78
("configfs: remove old API") from this pull.  As Alexander says about
that patch:

 "There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the
  awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed.

  This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making
  the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes.

  Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>"

That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully
bisectable.
