If not, we could end up in the unfortunate situation where
we dereference a NULL pointer b/c we have cpuidle disabled.
This is the case when booting under Xen (which uses the
ACPI P/C states but disables the CPU idle driver) - and can
be easily reproduced when booting with cpuidle.off=1.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes
From Tony Lindgren:
Some omap related fixes that have come up with people moving to device
tree only based booting for omap2+.
The series contains a handful of fixes for the igep boards as they were
one of the first omap3 boards to jump over completely to device tree
based booting. So these can be considered regressions compared to
booting igep in legacy mode with board files in v3.12.
Also included are few other device tree vs legacy booting regressions:
- yet more missing omap3 .dtsi entries that have showed up booting
various boards with device tree only
- n900 eMMC device tree fix
- fixes for beagle USB EHCI
- two fixes to make omap2420 MMC work
As we're moving omap2+ to be device tree only for v3.14, I'd like to
have v3.13 work equally well for legacy based booting and device tree
based booting. So there will be likely few more device tree related
booting patches trickling in.
This series also includes a regression fix for the omap timer posted
mode that may wrongly stay on from the bootloader for some SoCs.

remap_pfn_range
This fixes the following bug:
---- Bug Report ----
source file: drivers/staging/tidspbridge/rmgr/drv_interface.c
issue : mapping of physical memory without address range checks
259 static int bridge_mmap(struct file *filp, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
260 {
261 u32 status;
262
263 /* VM_IO | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP are set by remap_pfn_range() */
264 vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_noncached(vma->vm_page_prot);
265
266 dev_dbg(bridge, "%s: vm filp %p start %lx end %lx page_prot %ulx "
267 "flags %lx\n", __func__, filp,
268 vma->vm_start, vma->vm_end, vma->vm_page_prot,
269 vma->vm_flags);
270
271 status = remap_pfn_range(vma, vma->vm_start, vma->vm_pgoff,
272 vma->vm_end - vma->vm_start,
273 vma->vm_page_prot);
274 if (status != 0)
275 status = -EAGAIN;
276

278 }
The function provides an interface to remap physical memory to user space, but
does not provide any checks to ensure that the memory is within the region that
should be accessible.

This is effectively a revert of commit 5302c3fb2e62 ("cpufreq: Perform
light-weight init/teardown during suspend/resume"), which enabled
suspend/resume optimizations leaving the sysfs files in place.
Errors during suspend/resume are not handled properly, leaving
dead sysfs attributes in case of failures. There are are number of
functions with special code for the "frozen" case, and all these
need to also have special error handling.
The problem is easy to demonstrate by making cpufreq_driver->init()
or cpufreq_driver->get() fail during resume.
The code is too complex for a simple fix, with split code paths
in multiple blocks within a number of functions. It is therefore
best to revert the patch enabling this code until the error handling
is in place.
Examples of problems resulting from resume errors:

The failure to restore cpufreq devices on cancelled hibernation is
not a new bug. It is caused by the ACPI _PPC call failing unless the
hibernate is completed. This makes the acpi_cpufreq driver fail its
init.
Previously, the cpufreq device could be restored by offlining the
cpu temporarily. And as a complete hibernation cycle would do this,
it would be automatically restored most of the time. But after
commit 5302c3fb2e62 the leftover sysfs attributes will block any
device add action. Therefore offlining and onlining CPU 1 will no
longer restore the cpufreq object, and a complete suspend/resume
cycle will replace it with garbage.

It's the drivers responsibility to react on failure to get
the gpio descriptors and not the frameworks. Since there are
some common peripherals that may or may not have certain
pins connected to gpio lines, depending on the platform,
printing the warning there may end up generating useless bug
reports.

For MPC8572/MPC8536, the status of GPIOs defined as output
cannot be determined by reading GPDAT register, so the code
use shadow data register instead. But the code may give the
wrong status of GPIOs defined as input under some scenarios:
1. If some pins were configured as inputs and were asserted
high before booting the kernel, the shadow data has been
initialized with those pin values.
2. Some pins have been configured as output first and have
been set to the high value, then reconfigured as input.
The above cases will make the shadow data for those input
pins to be set to high. Then reading the pin status will
always return high even if the actual pin status is low.
The code should eliminate the effects of the shadow data to
the input pins, and the status of those pins should be
read directly from GPDAT.

Previously the association to a DC was done via the encoder's .crtc
field. That has the disadvantage that when an encoder is detached from
its CRTC, that field is set to NULL, leading to situations where it is
impossible to access the DC registers required by the RGB output.
However, the coupling between DC and RGB output is really fixed on
Tegra. While they can be detached logically in DRM, the RGB output can
rely on the DC's existence.

FTDI UARTs support only 7 or 8 data bits. Until now the ftdi_sio driver would
only report this limitation for CS6 to dmesg and fail to reflect this fact to
tcgetattr.
This patch reverts the unsupported CSIZE setting and reports the fact with less
severance to dmesg for both CS5 and CS6.
To test the patch it's sufficient to call
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 cs5
which will succeed without the patch and report an error with the patch
applied.
As an additional fix this patch ensures that the control request will always
include a data bit size.

When multiple wireless USB devices are connected and one of the devices
disconnects, the host will distribute a new group key to the remaining
devicese using wusbhc_gtk_rekey. wusbhc_gtk_rekey takes the
wusbhc->mutex and holds it while it submits a URB to set the new key.
This causes a deadlock in wa_urb_enqueue when it calls a device lookup
helper function that takes the same lock.

so that the URB is submitted without holding wusbhc->mutex.

This patch modifies the WUSB device disconnect timer code to send
keepalives to all connected devices even if they are not authenticated.
This fixes a problem where unauthenticated devices that lose their
connection before they are authenticated will stay in the device tree
forever. More importantly, devices in this situation will never
relinquish their port on the root hub so eventually all root ports will
be taken up and no other devices can connect.
A comment in the existing code states that there are some devices that
may not respond to keepalives if they have not been authenticated. That
comment is about 5 years old and I don't know of any WUSB devices that
act that way. Either way, any buggy devices that may still be around
will continue to work as long as they can transition to the
authenticated state within the WUSB LOA timeout of 4s, which is not
unreasonable to expect.

In the original HID sensor hub firmwares all Named array enums were
to 0-based. But the most recent hub implemented as 1-based,
because of the implementation by one of the major OS vendor.
Using logical minimum for the field as the base of enum. So we add
logical minimum to the selector values before setting those fields.
Some sensor hub FWs already changed logical minimum from 0 to 1
to reflect this and hope every other vendor will follow.
There is no easy way to add a common HID quirk for NAry elements,
even if the standard specifies these field as NAry, the collection
used to describe selectors is still just "logical".

If this isn't done the USB frames aren't formatted correctly and, for example,
the USB3 ethernet ax88179_178a card will stop sending (while still receiving)
when running a netperf tcp transmit test with (say) and 8k buffer.
This should be a candidate for stable, the ax88179_178a driver defaults to
gso and tso enabled so it passes a lot of fragmented skb to the USB stack.

This patch fixes a long-standing xHCI driver bug that was revealed by a
change in 3.12 in the usb-net driver. Commit
638c5115a794981441246fa8fa5d95c1875af5ba "USBNET: support DMA SG" added
support to use bulk endpoint scatter-gather (urb->sg). Only the USB
ethernet drivers trigger this bug, because the mass storage driver sends
sg list entries in page-sized chunks.
This patch only fixes the issue for bulk endpoint scatter-gather. The
problem will still occur for periodic endpoints, because hosts will
interpret no-op transfers as a request to skip a service interval, which
is not what we want.
Luckily, the USB core isn't set up for scatter-gather on isochronous
endpoints, and no USB drivers use scatter-gather for interrupt
endpoints. Document this known limitation so that developers won't try
to use urb->sg for interrupt endpoints until this issue is fixed. The
more comprehensive fix would be to allow link TRBs in the middle of the
endpoint ring and revert this patch, but that fix would touch too much
code to be allowed in for stable.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.12, that contain
the commit 638c5115a794981441246fa8fa5d95c1875af5ba "USBNET: support DMA
SG". Without this patch, the USB network device gets wedged, and stops
sending packets. Mark Lord confirms this patch fixes the regression:
