e157369759 pinctrl: xway: Be sure to clamp return value
As we want gpio_chip .get() calls to be able to return negative
error codes and propagate to drivers, we need to go over all
drivers and make sure their return values are clamped to [0,1].
We do this by using the ret = !!(val) design pattern.

b03539665d init, Documentation: Remove ramdisk_blocksize mentions
The brd driver has never supported the ramdisk_blocksize kernel
parameter that was in the rd driver it replaced, so remove
mention of this parameter from comments and Documentation.

Commit 9db5579be4 ("rewrite rd") replaced rd with brd, keeping
a brd_blocksize variable in struct brd_device but never using it.

Commit a2cba2913c ("brd: get rid of unused members from struct
brd_device") removed the unused variable.

Commit f5abc8e758 ("Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt: updates")
removed mentions of ramdisk_blocksize from that file.

Pull parisc system call restart fix from Helge Deller:
 "The architectural design of parisc always uses two instructions to

  instruction following the branch (located in the delay slot of the
  branch instruction) is executed before control passes to the branch
  destination.

  Depending on which assembler instruction and how it is used in
  usersapce in the delay slot, this sometimes made restarted syscalls
  like futex() and poll() failing with -ENOSYS"

6d18b8adbe clk: bcm2835: Support for clock parent selection
Some bcm2835 clocks used by hardware (like "PWM" or "H264") can have multiple
parent clocks. These clocks divide the rate of a parent which can be selected by
setting the proper bits in the clock control register.

Previously all these parents where handled by a mux clock. But a mux clock
cannot be used because updating clock control register to select parent needs a
password to be xor'd with the parent index.

This patch get rid of mux clock and make these clocks handle their own parent,
allowing them to select the one to use.

92e16f0fb2 dt-bindings: clock: add description of LPC32xx clock controller
NXP LPC32xx SoC has a clocking and power control unit (CPC) as a part
of system control block (SCB). CPC is supplied by two external
oscillators and it manages core and most of peripheral
clocks, the change adds description of DT bindings for clock

0731de0dd9 libnvdimm, pfn: move 'memory mode' indication to sysfs
'Memory mode' is defined as the capability of a DAX mapping to be the
source/target of DMA and other "direct I/O" scenarios.  While it
currently requires allocating 'struct page' for each page frame of
persistent memory in the namespace it will not always be the case.  Work
continues on reducing the kernel's dependency on 'struct page'.

Let's not maintain a suffix that is expected to lose meaning over time.
In other words a future 'raw mode' pmem namespace may be as capable as
today's 'memory mode' namespace.  Undo the encoding of the mode in the
device name and leave it to other tooling to determine the mode of the
namespace from its attributes.
