Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The pinctrl settings were incorrect for the touchscreen interrupt line, causing
an interrupt storm. This change has been tested with both the atmel_mxt_ts and
RMI4 drivers on the RDU1 units.
The value 0x4 comes from the value of register IOMUXC_SW_PAD_CTL_PAD_CSI1_D8
from the old vendor kernel.

Use the correct IRQ line for the MSI controller in the PCIe host
controller. Apparently a different IRQ line is used compared to other
i.MX6 variants. Without this change MSI IRQs aren't properly propagated
to the upstream interrupt controller.

Correct MIPI/PCIe/USB_HSIC's PGC offset based on
design RTL, the values in the Reference Manual
(Rev. 1, 01/2018 and the older ones) are incorrect.
The correct offset values should be as below:
0x800 ~ 0x83F: PGC for core0 of A7 platform;
0x840 ~ 0x87F: PGC for core1 of A7 platform;
0x880 ~ 0x8BF: PGC for SCU of A7 platform;
0xA00 ~ 0xA3F: PGC for fastmix/megamix;
0xC00 ~ 0xC3F: PGC for MIPI PHY;
0xC40 ~ 0xC7F: PGC for PCIe_PHY;
0xC80 ~ 0xCBF: PGC for USB OTG1 PHY;
0xCC0 ~ 0xCFF: PGC for USB OTG2 PHY;
0xD00 ~ 0xD3F: PGC for USB HSIC PHY;

According to the reference manual the shp_2_mcu / mcu_2_shp
scripts must be used for devices connected through the SPBA.
This fixes an issue we saw with DMA transfers.
Sometimes the SPI controller RX FIFO was not empty after a DMA
transfer and the driver got stuck in the next PIO transfer when
it read one word more than expected.
commit dd4b487b32a35 ("ARM: dts: imx6: Use correct SDMA script
for SPI cores") is fixing the same issue but only for SPI1 - 4.

- Fix a lot of broken references to Documentation/*;
- improve the scripts/documentation-file-ref-check script, in order
to help detecting/fixing broken references, preventing

The existing implementation allows races between bsg_unregister and
bsg_open paths. bsg_unregister and request_queue cleanup and deletion
may start and complete right after bsg_get_device (in bsg_open path)
retrieves bsg_class_device and releases the mutex. Then bsg_open path
touches freed memory of bsg_class_device and request_queue.
One possible fix is to hold the mutex all the way through bsg_get_device
instead of releasing it after bsg_class_device retrieval.
