e8f8b448c1 platform/x86: wmi: Add documentation
Add documentation for the WMI subsystem. The documentation describes
both the ACPI WMI interface and the driver API for interacting with
the WMI driver core. The information regarding the ACPI interface
was retrieved from the Ubuntu kernel references and the Windows driver
samples available on GitHub. The documentation is supposed to help
driver developers writing WMI drivers, as many modern machines designed
to run Windows provide an ACPI WMI interface.

7283f862bd drm: Implement DRM aperture helpers under video/
Implement DRM's aperture helpers under video/ for sharing with other
sub-systems. Remove DRM-isms from the interface. The helpers track
the ownership of framebuffer apertures and provide hand-over from
firmware, such as EFI and VESA, to native graphics drivers.

Other subsystems, such as fbdev and vfio, also have to maintain ownership
of framebuffer apertures. Moving DRM's aperture helpers to a more public
location allows all subsystems to interact with each other and share a
common implementation.

The aperture helpers are selected by the various firmware drivers within
DRM and fbdev, and the VGA text-console driver.

The original DRM interface is kept in place for use by DRM drivers.

v3:
	* prefix all interfaces with aperture_ (Javier)
	* rework and simplify documentation (Javier)
	* rename struct dev_aperture to struct aperture_range
	* rebase onto latest DRM
	* update MAINTAINERS entry

e229b429bb Char/Misc driver patches for 5.12-rc1
Here is the large set of char/misc/whatever driver subsystem updates for
 5.12-rc1.  Over time it seems like this tree is collecting more and more
 tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those
 maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.
 
 Included in here are:
 	- coresight driver updates
 	- habannalabs driver updates
 	- virtual acrn driver addition (proper acks from the x86
 	  maintainers)
 	- broadcom misc driver addition
 	- speakup driver updates
 	- soundwire driver updates
 	- fpga driver updates
 	- amba driver updates

 	- phy driver updates
 	- mhi driver updates
 	- interconnect driver udpates
 	- fsl-mc bus driver updates
 	- random driver fix
 	- some small misc driver updates (rtsx, pvpanic, etc.)
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only reported
 issue being a merge conflict in include/linux/mod_devicetable.h that you
 will hit in your tree due to the dfl_device_id addition from the fpga
 subsystem in here.  The resolution should be simple.

825d150875 cxl for 5.12
Introduce an initial driver for CXL 2.0 Type-3 Memory Devices. CXL is
 Compute Express Link which released the 2.0 specification in November.
 The Linux relevant changes in CXL 2.0 are support for an OS to
 dynamically assign address space to memory devices, support for
 switches, persistent memory, and hotplug. A Type-3 Memory Device is a
 PCI enumerated device presenting the CXL Memory Device Class Code and
 implementing the CXL.mem protocol. CXL.mem allows device to advertise
 CPU and I/O coherent memory to the system, i.e. typical "System RAM" and
 "Persistent Memory" in Linux /proc/iomem terms.
 
 In addition to the CXL.mem fast path there is an administrative command
 hardware mailbox interface for maintenance and provisioning. It is this
 command interface that is the focus of the initial driver. With this
 driver a CXL device that is mapped by the BIOS can be administered by
 Linux. Linux support for CXL PMEM and dynamic CXL address space
 management are to be implemented post v5.12.

4cdadfd5e0 cxl/mem: Introduce a driver for CXL-2.0-Type-3 endpoints
The CXL.mem protocol allows a device to act as a provider of "System
RAM" and/or "Persistent Memory" that is fully coherent as if the memory
was attached to the typical CPU memory controller.

With the CXL-2.0 specification a PCI endpoint can implement a "Type-3"
device interface and give the operating system control over "Host
Managed Device Memory". See section 2.3 Type 3 CXL Device.

The memory range exported by the device may optionally be described by
the platform firmware memory map, or by infrastructure like LIBNVDIMM to
provision persistent memory capacity from one, or more, CXL.mem devices.

A pre-requisite for Linux-managed memory-capacity provisioning is this
cxl_mem driver that can speak the mailbox protocol defined in section
8.2.8.4 Mailbox Registers.

For now just land the initial driver boiler-plate and Documentation/
infrastructure.

d16eb0edf9 docs: driver-api: remove a duplicated index entry
The ipmb file was added twice at index.rst. That
sounds to be because the same patch was applied twice,
via different git trees:

	commit f6ae22d644
	Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
	Commit: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

	    docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST

	commit ac499fba98
	Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
	Commit: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

	    docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST

With Sphinx 4.0.0 development tree, a new warning is produced
due to that:

	.../Documentation/driver-api/index.rst:14: WARNING: duplicated entry found in toctree: driver-api/ipmb

The fix is trivial: just drop the duplicated line.

b8265621f4 Add pldmfw library for PLDM firmware update
The pldmfw library is used to implement common logic needed to flash
devices based on firmware files using the format described by the PLDM
for Firmware Update standard.

This library consists of logic to parse the PLDM file format from
a firmware file object, as well as common logic for sending the relevant
PLDM header data to the device firmware.

A simple ops table is provided so that device drivers can implement
device specific hardware interactions while keeping the common logic to
the pldmfw library.

This library will be used by the Intel ice networking driver as part of
implementing device flash update via devlink. The library aims to be
vendor and device agnostic. For this reason, it has been placed in
lib/pldmfw, in the hopes that other devices which use the PLDM firmware
file format may benefit from it in the future. However, do note that not
all features defined in the PLDM standard have been implemented.

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:

 - Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and
   userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon);

 - The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select
   drivers and their dependencies;

 - The testing drivers now has a separate directory;

 - added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP;

 - The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with
   4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell
   phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and
   making it in good shape.

 - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs;

 - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver;

 - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
   support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
   standards;

 - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
   V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
   is located at the device;

 - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;

 - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

  - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last.  Now we just need

  - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a variety of
    systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in particular).
 
  - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
    Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need to

99a0d9f5e8 This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v5.5 kernel cycle
Core changes:
 
 - Expose pull up/down flags for the GPIO character device to
   userspace. After clear input from the RaspberryPi and Beagle
   communities, it has been established that prototyping,
   industrial automation and make communities strongly need
   this feature, and as we want people to use the character
   device, we have implemented the simple pull up/down
   interface for GPIO lines. This means we can specify that
   a (chip-specific) pull up/down resistor can be enabled,
   but does not offer fine-grained control such as cases
   where the resistance of the same pull resistor can be
   controlled (yet).
 
 - Introduce devm_fwnode_gpiod_get_index() and start to phase out
   the old symbol devm_fwnode_get_index_gpiod_from_child().
 
 - A bit of documentation clean-up work.
 
 - Introduce a define for GPIO line directions and deploy it
   in all GPIO drivers in the drivers/gpio directory.
 
 - Add a special callback to populate pin ranges when
   cooperating with the pin control subsystem and registering
   ranges as part of adding a gpiolib driver and a
   gpio_irq_chip driver at the same time. This is also
   deployed in the Intel Merrifield driver.
 
 New drivers:
 
 - RDA Micro GPIO controller.
 
 - XGS-iproc GPIO driver.
 
 Driver improvements:
 
 - Wake event and debounce support on the Tegra 186 driver.
 
 - Finalize the Aspeed SGPIO driver.
 
 - MPC8xxx uses a normal IRQ handler rather than a chained
   handler.
