a6fb35d379 mtd: bcm47xxsflash: define opcodes
We need them to add erase/write support. This may duplicate some defines
with bcma and/or ssb code, but it makes more sense to keep that in
bcm47xxsflash which is supposed to work with both buses.
Duplicated defines will be removed from ssb/bcma.

26a4734623 mtd: add 'const' qualifier to a couple of register functions
'mtd_device_parse_register()' and 'parse_mtd_partitions()' functions accept a
an array of character pointers. These functions modify neither the pointers nor
the characters they point to. The characters are actually names of the MTD
parsers.

At the moment, the argument type is 'const char **', which means that only the
names of the parsers are constant. Let's turn the argument type into 'const
char * const *', which means that both names and the pointers which point to
them are constant.

Now SPI flash devices that need sst_write() are explicitly marked
with new SST_WRITE flag and the decision to use sst_write() is based
on this flag instead of manufacturer id.

implemented as a generic feature, I prefer to remove it because NAND flashes do

f7025a43a9 mtd: decommission the NAND museum
The MTD subsystem has its own small museum of ancient NANDs in a form of the
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_MUSEUM_IDS configuration option. The museum contains stone age
NANDs with 256 bytes pages, as well as iron age NANDs with 512 bytes per page
and up to 8MiB page size.

It is with great sorrow that I inform you that the museum is being
decommissioned. The MTD subsystem is out of budget for Kconfig options and
already has too many of them, and there is a general kernel trend to simplify
the configuration menu.

We remove the stone age exhibits along with closing the museum, but some of the
iron age ones are transferred to the regular NAND depot. Namely, only those
which have unique device IDs are transferred, and the ones which have
conflicting device IDs are removed.

5bc7c33ca9 mtd: nand: reintroduce NAND_NO_READRDY as NAND_NEED_READRDY
This partially reverts commit 1696e6bc2a
("mtd: nand: kill NAND_NO_READRDY").

In that patch I overlooked a few things.

The original documentation for NAND_NO_READRDY included "True for all
large page devices, as they do not support autoincrement." I was
conflating "not support autoincrement" with the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR option,
which was in fact doing nothing. So, when I dropped NAND_NO_AUTOINCR, I
concluded that I then could harmlessly drop NAND_NO_READRDY. But of
course the fact the NAND_NO_AUTOINCR was doing nothing didn't mean
NAND_NO_READRDY was doing nothing...

So, NAND_NO_READRDY is re-introduced as NAND_NEED_READRDY and applied
only to those few remaining small-page NAND which needed it in the first
place.

7f78e03513 fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules.
Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.

A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.

Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.

Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives.  Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.

This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work.  While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases.  The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.

This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.

After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module.  The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions.  In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted.  In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

aebb2afd54 Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus
Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:

 o Add basic support for the Mediatek/Ralink Wireless SoC family.

 o The Qualcomm Atheros platform is extended by support for the new
   QCA955X SoC series as well as a bunch of patches that get the code
   ready for OF support.

 o Lantiq and BCM47XX platform have a few improvements and bug fixes.

 o MIPS has sent a few patches that get the kernel ready for the
   upcoming microMIPS support.

 o The rest of the series is made up of small bug fixes and cleanups
   that relate to various parts of the MIPS code.  The biggy in there is
   a whitespace cleanup.  After I was sent another set of whitespace
   cleanup patches I decided it was the time to clean the whitespace
   "issues" for once and and that touches many files below arch/mips/.

Fix up silly conflicts, mostly due to whitespace cleanups.
