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 reStructuredText 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.

Pull timer fix from Borislav Petkov:

If kobject_create_and_add() fails on the first iteration, then the error
code is set to -ENOMEM which is correct. But if it fails in subsequent
iterations then "ret" is zero, which means success, but it should be
-ENOMEM.
Set the error code to -ENOMEM correctly.

Fix an uninitialised variable (key) in afs_alloc_anon_key() by setting it
to cell->anonymous_key. Without this change, the error check may return a
false failure with a bad error number.
Most of the time this is unlikely to happen because the first encounter
with afs_alloc_anon_key() will usually be from (auto)mount, for which all
subsequent operations must wait - apart from other (auto)mounts. Once the
call->anonymous_key is allocated, all further calls to afs_request_key()
will skip the call to afs_alloc_anon_key() for that cell.

Owing to Config4.MMUSizeExt and VTLB/FTLB MMU features later MIPSr2+
cores can have more than 64 TLB entries. Therefore allocate an array
for uniquification instead of placing too an small array on the stack.

up since I've been a bit tardy with sending a pull requests as people

Propagate fwnode of the ACPI device to the SPI controller Linux device.
Currently only OF case propagates fwnode to the controller.
While at it, replace several calls to dev_fwnode() with a single one
cached in a local variable, and unify checks for fwnode type by using
is_*_node() APIs.

This driver runs also on Tegra SoCs without a Tegra20 APB DMA controller
(e.g. Tegra234).
Remove the Kconfig dependency on TEGRA20_APB_DMA; in addition, amend the

Tegra114.
