lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource() The devm_request_and_ioremap() function is very useful and helps avoid a whole lot of boilerplate. However, one issue that keeps popping up is its lack of a specific error code to determine which of the steps that it performs failed. Furthermore, while the function gives an example and suggests what error code to return on failure, a wide variety of error codes are used throughout the tree. In an attempt to fix these problems, this patch adds a new function that drivers can transition to. The devm_ioremap_resource() returns a pointer to the remapped I/O memory on success or an ERR_PTR() encoded error code on failure. Callers can check for failure using IS_ERR() and determine its cause by extracting the error code using PTR_ERR(). devm_request_and_ioremap() is implemented as a wrapper around the new API and return NULL on failure as before. This ensures that backwards compatibility is maintained until all users have been converted to the new API, at which point the old devm_request_and_ioremap() function should be removed. A semantic patch is included which can be used to convert from the old devm_request_and_ioremap() API to the new devm_ioremap_resource() API. Some non-trivial cases may require manual intervention, though.

Pin control subsystem changes for kernel 3.5: - Generic Device Tree bindings and hooks for drivers so we can move over modern drivers to using this. - Device Tree bindings for Tegra SoCs. - Funneling some devicetree helper code for the drivers/of subsystem. - New pin control drivers for: - Freescale MXS - Freescale i.MX51 - Freescale i.MX53 - All of these use Device Tree bindings. - Dummy pinctrl handles for stepwise migration to pinctrl, akin to dummy regulators. - Minor non-urgent fixes and improvments. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJPuiZMAAoJEEEQszewGV1zMK4P/RP+RvKs3KnFaAUF/tM2QSll /65BW8SJlaXrbMv5IC4iBvUx1sH/fDNtNjTHIwwlNBlrxPl6TVecvZZq+yBnl7yp Wue0A/xdD0nsD7O/85khVE4WnDJbWpgOdX/9CTVbc6tmTAsb9pGBH2120dtLdcLe X+GRKnf5D05ySHaGKO8j0PB1MLjF/SV3GhGfrYpn0dtW/XVWNmRczLgm0p11qhMd kOLoqjcJUp/p3HYtUjKKnwj/3z0d88YjegsiSelTp9Gdnjp/3c2LrRN91mXdIiMc IGZrp+AQWQ0zg3QrH91gAD7V+f+URrd+IK2EU5PdBO1fqNXgaotGujsX0lqnwycN 8PbXnrUhMhtM4oVjUdLioTP98wIN8Y5tTDoPoVUPtA3921aCVQoE/Pf9/VXBwzEZ O/nmW0hz7e1OraEq4a/vsD715iuxV92lQzJpzMWYjySFyIGur/VCLLWQo95WWK5d Foiif1FTuN+1ueONlI5JHqhFp1HZs0ldVDxR/V8G+ueUNlgQmlypgC3lI++WjXnt uaQS6Hq0NlOKivhlu/uJ098ft7gf2utJLSBOfKPoILgyfksvEGfegJ8tql2YW/vS 42d0jQGrnhi4nctxzGN3zmr4Ys0BU97JP/9Rq+ZbPUL+SDF7e3y4pv+uTLI4ip6v fyHZTFW6CTXbBD3k1qy9 =RgIp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'pinctrl-for-v3.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl Pull pin control subsystem changes from Linus Walleij: - Generic Device Tree bindings and hooks for drivers so we can move over modern drivers to using this. - Device Tree bindings for Tegra SoCs. - Funneling some devicetree helper code for the drivers/of subsystem. - New pin control drivers for: * Freescale MXS * Freescale i.MX51 * Freescale i.MX53 All of these use Device Tree bindings. - Dummy pinctrl handles for stepwise migration to pinctrl, akin to dummy regulators. - Minor non-urgent fixes and improvments.
