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.
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 YAML binding document for SiFive boards has an incorrect
compatible string for the HiFive Unleashed board. Change it to match
the name of the board on the SiFive web site:
https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unleashed
which also matches the contents of the board DT data file:

Remove the now-obsolete riscv/cpus.txt DT binding document, since we
are using YAML binding documentation instead.
While doing so, transfer the explanatory text about 'harts' (with some
edits) into the YAML file, at Rob's request.

This should never have landed in the first place: it was added as part
of 64-bit divide support for 32-bit systems, but the kernel doesn't
allow this sort of division. I must have forgotten to remove it.
This patch removes the support. Since this routine only worked on
64-bit platforms but was only built on 32-bit platforms, it's
essentially just nonsense anyway.

In preparation for removing __udivdi3() from the RISC-V
architecture-specific files, convert its one user to use do_div().
This avoids breaking the RV32 build after __udivdi3() is removed.
This second version removes the assignment of the remainder to an
unused temporary variable. Thanks to Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>
for the suggestion.

Since the RISC-V specification states that ISA description strings are
case-insensitive, there's no functional difference between mixed-case,
upper-case, and lower-case ISA strings. Thus, to simplify parsing,
specify that the letters present in "riscv,isa" must be all lowercase.

There is only one clocksource in RISC-V. The boot cpu initializes
that clocksource. No need to keep a percpu data structure.

Pull tpm fixes from Jarkko Sakkinen:
"Two bug fixes that did not make into my first pull request"

tpm: tpm_ibm_vtpm: Fix unallocated banks

Pull MTD fixes from Miquel Raynal:
"NAND:
- Fix Micron driver as some chips enable internal ECC correction
during their discovery while they advertize they do not have any.
Hyperbus:
- Restrict the build to only ARM64 SoCs (and compile testing) which
is what should have been done since the beginning.
- Fix Kconfig issue by selection something instead of implying it"
* tag 'mtd/fixes-for-5.3-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux:
mtd: hyperbus: Add hardware dependency to AM654 driver
mtd: hyperbus: Kconfig: Fix HBMC_AM654 dependencies
mtd: rawnand: micron: handle on-die "ECC-off" devices correctly
The nr_allocated_banks and allocated banks are initialized as part of
tpm_chip_register. Currently, this is done as part of auto startup
function. However, some drivers, like the ibm vtpm driver, do not run
auto startup during initialization. This results in uninitialized memory
issue and causes a kernel panic during boot.
This patch moves the pcr allocation outside the auto startup function
into tpm_chip_register. This ensures that allocated banks are initialized
in any case.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"Some more powerpc fixes for 5.3:

- A fix for the PAPR SCM nvdimm driver, to fix a crash when firmware
gives us a device that's attached to a non-online NUMA node.
- A fix for a boot failure on 32-bit with KASAN enabled.
- Three fixes for implicit fall through warnings, some of which are
errors for us due to -Werror.
