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.

commit 6579c8d97ad7 ("clk: Mark fwnodes when their clock provider is added")
revealed that clk/bcm/clk-raspberrypi.c driver calls
devm_of_clk_add_hw_provider(), with a NULL dev->of_node, which resulted in a
NULL pointer dereference in of_clk_add_hw_provider() when calling
fwnode_dev_initialized().
Returning 0 is reducing the if conditions in driver code and is being
consistent with the CONFIG_OF=n inline stub that returns 0 when CONFIG_OF
is disabled. The downside is that drivers will maybe register clkdev lookups
when they don't need to and waste some memory.

Fixes: 3c9ea42802a1 ("clk: Mark fwnodes when their clock provider is added/removed")

First set of IIO fixes for the 5.13 cycle
A couple of high priority core fixes and the usual bits scattered
across individual drivers.
core:
* Fix ioctl handler double free.
* Fix an accidental ABI change wrt to error codes when an IOCTL is not
supported.
gp2ap002:
* Runtime pm imbalance on error.
hid-sensors:
* Fix a Kconfig dependency issue in a particularly crazy config.
mpu3050:
* Fix wrong temperature calculation due to a type needing to be signed.
pulsedlight:
* Runtime pm imbalance on error.
tsl2583
* Fix a potential division by zero.

fw_devlink expects DT device nodes with "compatible" property to have
struct devices created for them. Since the connector node might not be
populated as a device, mark it as such so that fw_devlink knows not to
wait on this fwnode being populated as a struct device.
Without this patch, USB functionality can be broken on some boards.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for timers:
- Use the ALARM feature check in the alarmtimer core code insted of
the old method of checking for the set_alarm() callback.
Drivers can have that callback set but the feature bit cleared. If
such a RTC device is selected then alarms wont work.
- Use a proper define to let the preprocessor check whether Hyper-V
VDSO clocksource should be active.
The code used a constant in an enum with #ifdef, which evaluates to
always false and disabled the clocksource for VDSO"

clocksource/drivers/hyper-v: Re-enable VDSO_CLOCKMODE_HVCLOCK on X86
alarmtimer: Check RTC features instead of ops
This may happen if the port becomes resume status exactly
when usb_port_resume() gets port status, it still need provide
a TRSMCRY time before access the device.

gcc gets confused by some of the type casts and produces an
apparently senseless warning about an out-of-bound memcpy to
an unrelated array in the same structure:

This is a known gcc bug, and the patch here is only a workaround,
but the approach of using a temporary variable to hold a pointer
to the key also improves readability in addition to avoiding the
warning, so overall this should still help.

The lux_val returned from tsl2583_get_lux can potentially be zero,
so check for this to avoid a division by zero and an overflowed
gain_trim_val.

Mohammed reports (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213029)
the commit e4ab4658f1cf ("clocksource/drivers/hyper-v: Handle vDSO
differences inline") broke vDSO on x86. The problem appears to be that
VDSO_CLOCKMODE_HVCLOCK is an enum value in 'enum vdso_clock_mode' and
'#ifdef VDSO_CLOCKMODE_HVCLOCK' branch evaluates to false (it is not
a define).
Use a dedicated HAVE_VDSO_CLOCKMODE_HVCLOCK define instead.
