git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl Pull pin control subsystem changes from Linus Walleij: - Generic Device Tree bindings and hooks for drivers so we can move over modern drivers to using this. - Device Tree bindings for Tegra SoCs. - Funneling some devicetree helper code for the drivers/of subsystem. - New pin control drivers for: * Freescale MXS * Freescale i.MX51 * Freescale i.MX53 All of these use Device Tree bindings. - Dummy pinctrl handles for stepwise migration to pinctrl, akin to dummy regulators. - Minor non-urgent fixes and improvments. Fix up trivial conflicts in Documentation/driver-model/devres.txt and drivers/pinctrl/core.c, * tag 'pinctrl-for-v3.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl: (46 commits) pinctrl: pinctrl-imx: add imx51 pinctrl driver pinctrl: pinctrl-imx: add imx53 pinctrl driver pinctrl: pinctrl-pxa3xx: remove empty pinmux disable function pinctrl: pinctrl-mxs: remove empty pinmux disable function pinctrl: pinctrl-imx: remove empty pinmux disable function pinctrl: make pinmux disable function optional pinctrl: a minor error checking improvement for pinconf pinctrl: mxs: skip gpio nodes for group creation pinctrl: mxs: create group for pin config node pinctrl: (cosmetic) fix two entries in DocBook comments pinctrl: add more info to error msgs in pin_request pinctrl: add pinctrl-mxs support pinctrl: pinctrl-imx: add imx6q pinctrl driver pinctrl: pinctrl-imx: add imx pinctrl core driver dt: add of_get_child_count helper function pinctrl: support gpio request deferred probing pinctrl: add pinctrl_provide_dummies interface for platforms to use pinctrl: enhance reporting of errors when loading from DT pinctrl: add kerneldoc for pinctrl_ops device tree functions pinctrl: propagate map validation errors ...

2012-01-20regulator: Add devm_regulator_get()Stephen Boyd
Add a resource managed regulator_get() to simplify regulator usage in drivers. This allows driver authors to "get and forget" about their regulators by automatically calling regulator_put() when the driver is detached.

2011-11-16lib: devres: add convenience function to remap a resourceWolfram Sang
Almost every platform_driver does the three steps get_resource, request_mem_region, ioremap. This does not only lead to a lot of code duplication, but also a huge number of similar error strings and inconsistent error codes on failure. So, introduce a helper function which simplifies remapping a resource and make it hard to do something wrong and add documentation for it.

2007-10-19typo fixesMatt LaPlante
Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases. Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both Kconfigs and documentation texts.

2007-02-09devres: device resource managementTejun Heo
Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated with a release function. On driver detach, release function is invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed. devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are better represented by single instance of the type while others need multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are supported. devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4 ports). This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following managed interfaces. * alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree() * IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region() * IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq() * DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(), dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(), dmam_pool_destroy() * PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed() * iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(), devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(), pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
