331d9d5958 Revert "fbdev: atafb - add palette register check"
This reverts commit 8546e3ce6e, as it's a
partial duplicate of commit 2f390380ca
("fbdev: add palette register check to several drivers").

The former went in first through the m68k tree, the latter through Andrew
Morton.

04a1e62c2c x86/ptrace: make genregs[32]_get/set more robust
The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and
then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop.  All the
callers should be passing in appropriately aligned buffer lengths, but
it's better to just not rely on it, and have some appropriate defensive
loop limits.

e45906203d leds: leds-pwm: Set led_classdev max_brightness
Currently the driver leds-pwm doesn't set max_brightness for the led device
although it's platform data proides a maximum brightness. Instead it stores its
own private driver struct. The max_brightness defaults to 255 for led device if
it has not been set.
As a result any leds-pwm device with a different maximum brightness will show
incorrect behavior, as it is posible to either set a longer then period duty
time or not be able to switch the led to full brightness.

735eb93ae2 regulator: mc13783-regulator: correct the probing time.
When the mc13783-regulator driver is built in kernel, probing it during
the regulator subsystem initialisation result in a fault.

That is because regulator subsystem is planned to be initialised very early
in the boot process, before the mfd subsystem initialisation.

The mc12783-regulator probing process need to access to the mc13783-core
functionality to read/write mc13783 registers and so must be called after
the mc13783-core driver initialisation.

The way to do this is to let the kernel probe the mc13783-regulator driver when
mc13783-core register his regulator subdevice.

  "mfd/mc13783: near complete rewrite"
- use platform_data as provided by "mfd/mc13783: near complete rewrite"
  instead of accessing struct mc13783
- struct mc13783_regulator_priv.desc is (and was) unused and so can go
  away
- use cpp magic to initialize mc13783_regulators
- bring MODULE_LICENSE in sync with actual copyright
- minor style fixes

This allows not including mc13783-private.h which I intend to remove
soon.

638f85c54f regulator: Handle regulators without suspend mode configuration
Since some regulators in the system may not support suspend mode
configuration we need to allow some regulators to have a missing
suspend mode configuration. Do this by requiring that disabled
regulators are explicitly flagged and then skip over regulators
that have no state specified.

Try to avoid surprises by warning the if we could set the state
but no configuration is provided.  This also ensures that an all
zeros configuration generates a warning rather than silently
disabling the regulator.

e24a04c44c regulator: Implement WM831x BuckWise DC-DC convertor DVS support
The BuckWise DC-DC convertors in WM831x devices support switching to
a second output voltage using the logic level on one of the device
pins. This is intended to allow rapid voltage switching for uses like
cpufreq, replacing the I2C or SPI write used to configure the voltage
of the regulator with a much faster GPIO status change.

This is implemented by keeping the DVS voltage configured as the
maximum voltage permitted for the regulator. If a request is made
for the maximum voltage then the GPIO is used to switch to the DVS
voltage, otherwise the normal ON voltage is updated and used. This
follows the idiom used by most cpufreq drivers, which drop the
minimum voltage as the core frequency is dropped but use a constant
maximum - raising the voltage should normally be fast, but lowering
it may be slower.

Configuration of the DVS MFP on the device should be done externally,
for example via OTP.

Support is present in the hardware for monitoring the status of the
transition using a second GPIO. This is not currently implemented
but platform data is provided for it - the driver currently assumes
that the device will be configured to transition immediately - but
platform data is provided to reduce merge issues once it is.

a4609780c9 MIPS: No longer hardwire CONFIG_EMBEDDED to y
There's no reason for MIPS to select EMBEDDED.  In fact, EMBEDDED makes
MIPS more awkward to deal with because it makes it different to the
majority of architectures for no good reason.

[Ralf: Historically disabling EMBEDDED had hid essential options for many
 MIPS platforms such as serial console and forced crap like VGA support
 or power managment enabled for platforms where those don't make any sense.

 The name of the option is also _very_ missleading so many users don't
 select it even where is was required for a functioning kernel.]

6acc7d485c MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command line
Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware.  Therefore,
using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.

This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
currently used for x86.  The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
arguments override the hardcoded ones.

[Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
change.]
