Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.

Reset controller fixes for v4.11
Fix devm_reset_controller_get_optional to return NULL for non-DT devices,
if the RESET_CONTROLLER Kconfig option is enabled. This fixes probe failures
of the 8250_dw driver on Intel platforms after commit acbdad8dd1ab ("serial:
8250_dw: simplify optional reset handling").

This pull request contains Broadcom ARM64-based SoCs Device Tree fixes for 4.11,
please pull the following:
- Jon adds missing "dma-coherent" property to the Northstar 2 DTS include file
in order to fix both performance and cache problems for: PCIe, Ethernet,
PDC/mailbox, SATA3 and SDHCI
* tag 'arm-soc/for-4.11/devicetree-arm64-fixes' of http://github.com/Broadcom/stblinux:
arm64: dts: NS2: Add dma-coherent to relevant DT entries
Rename the internal __reset_control_get/put functions to
__reset_control_get/put_internal and add an exported
__reset_control_get equivalent to __of_reset_control_get
that takes a struct device parameter.
This avoids the confusing call to __of_reset_control_get in
the non-DT case and fixes the devm_reset_control_get_optional
function to return NULL if RESET_CONTROLLER is enabled but
dev->of_node == NULL.

Cache related issues with DMA rings and performance issues related to

When RESET_CONTROLLER is not enabled, the optional reset_control_get
stubs should now also return NULL.
Since it is now valid for reset_control_assert/deassert/reset/status/put
to be called unconditionally, with NULL as an argument for optional
resets, the stubs are not allowed to warn anymore.

The libgpio code pre-sets the GPIO values for the gpio-reset in the
device tree. This results in the device being reset during bringup.
To prevent this pre-setting, use the "open-source" flag in the device
tree.

Reset controller fixes for v4.11
Fix optional reset_control_get_stubs to return NULL and remove warnings
from reset_control_* stubs.
This fixes commit bb475230b8e5 ("reset: make optional functions really
optional"), which was merged in reset-for-4.11, and would cause consumer
drivers depending on the new behaviour of optional resets to fail probing
if RESET_CONTROLLER Kconfig option is disabled.

On some DDR controllers, compatible with the sama5d3 one,
the sequence to enter/exit/re-enter the self-refresh mode adds
more constrains than what is currently written in the at91_idle
driver. An actual access to the DDR chip is needed between exit
and re-enter of this mode which is somehow difficult to implement.
This sequence can completely hang the SoC. It is particularly
experienced on parts which embed a L2 cache if the code run
between IDLE calls fits in it...
Moreover, as the intention is to enter and exit pretty rapidly
from IDLE, the power-down mode is a good candidate.
So now we use power-down instead of self-refresh. As we can
simplify the code for sama5d3 compatible DDR controllers,
we instantiate a new sama5d3_ddr_standby() function.
