Pull ARM SoC driver changes from Olof Johansson:
 "This is a rather large set of patches for device drivers that for one
  reason or another the subsystem maintainer preferred to get merged
  through the arm-soc tree.  There are both new drivers as well as
  existing drivers that are getting converted from platform-specific
  code into standalone drivers using the appropriate subsystem specific
  interfaces.

  In particular, we can now have pinctrl, clk, clksource and irqchip
  drivers in one file per driver, without the need to call into platform
  specific interface, or to get called from platform specific code, as
  long as all information about the hardware is provided through a
  device tree.

  Most of the drivers we touch this time are for clocksource.  Since now
  most of them are part of drivers/clocksource, I expect that we won't
  have to touch these again from arm-soc and can let the clocksource
  maintainers take care of these in the future.

  Another larger part of this series is specific to the exynos platform,
  which is seeing some significant effort in upstreaming and
  modernization of its device drivers this time around, which
  unfortunately is also the cause for the churn and a lot of the merge
  conflicts.

  There is one new subsystem that gets merged as part of this series:
  the reset controller interface, which is a very simple interface for
  taking devices on the SoC out of reset or back into reset.  Patches to
  use this interface on i.MX follow later in this merge window, and we
  are going to have other platforms (at least tegra and sirf) get
  converted in 3.11.  This will let us get rid of platform specific
  callbacks in a number of platform independent device drivers."

<title>add single-wire serial bus interface (SSBI) driver</title>

SSBI is the Qualcomm single-wire serial bus interface used to connect
the MSM devices to the PMIC and other devices.

Since SSBI only supports a single slave, the driver gets the name of the
slave device passed in from the board file through the master device's
platform data.

SSBI registers pretty early (postcore), so that the PMIC can come up
before the board init. This is useful if the board init requires the
use of gpios that are connected through the PMIC.

Based on a patch by Dima Zavin &lt;dima@android.com&gt; that can be found at:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=commitdiff;h=eb060bac4

This patch adds PMIC Arbiter support for the MSM8660. The PMIC Arbiter
is a hardware wrapper around the SSBI 2.0 controller that is designed to
overcome concurrency issues and security limitations.  A controller_type
field is added to the platform data to specify the type of the SSBI
controller (1.0, 2.0, or PMIC Arbiter).

[davidb@codeaurora.org:
 I've moved this driver into drivers/ssbi/ and added an include for
 linux/module.h so that it will compile]

<title>vringh: host-side implementation of virtio rings.</title>

<content type='text'>
Getting use of virtio rings correct is tricky, and a recent patch saw
an implementation of in-kernel rings (as separate from userspace).

This abstracts the business of dealing with the virtio ring layout
from the access (userspace or direct); to do this, we use function
pointers, which gcc inlines correctly.

We already have a considerable amount of USB
PHY drivers, making it a menuconfig just
prevents us from adding too much churn to
USB's menuconfig.

While at that, also select USB_OTG_UTILS from
this new menuconfig just to keep backwards
compatibility until we manage to remove
that symbol.

Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
 "So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request
  for 3.9.  It has a few interesting highlights, in addition to the
  usual bunch of bug fixes, minor updates, embedded device tree updates
  and new boards:

   - Hand tuned asm implementation of SHA1 (by Paulus &amp; Michael
     Ellerman)

   - Support for Doorbell interrupts on Power8 (kind of fast
     thread-thread IPIs) by Ian Munsie

   - Long overdue cleanup of the way we handle relocation of our open
     firmware trampoline (prom_init.c) on 64-bit by Anton Blanchard

   - Support for saving/restoring &amp; context switching the PPR (Processor
     Priority Register) on server processors that support it.  This
     allows the kernel to preserve thread priorities established by
     userspace.  By Haren Myneni.

   - DAWR (new watchpoint facility) support on Power8 by Michael Neuling

   - Ability to change the DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) which
     controls cache prefetching on a running process via ptrace by
     Alexey Kardashevskiy

   - Support for context switching the TAR register on Power8 (new
     branch target register meant to be used by some new specific
     userspace perf event interrupt facility which is yet to be enabled)
     by Ian Munsie.

   - Improve preservation of the CFAR register (which captures the
     origin of a branch) on various exception conditions by Paulus.

   - Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
     it belongs by Philippe De Muyter

   - Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
     (based on original work by Matt Evans).  For those curious about
     the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."

(See commit db8ff907027b: "powerpc: Documentation for transactional
memory on powerpc" for the mentioned description added to the file
Documentation/powerpc/transactional_memory.txt)

* 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (140 commits)
  powerpc/kexec: Disable hard IRQ before kexec
  powerpc/85xx: l2sram - Add compatible string for BSC9131 platform
  powerpc/85xx: bsc9131 - Correct typo in SDHC device node
  powerpc/e500/qemu-e500: enable coreint
  powerpc/mpic: allow coreint to be determined by MPIC version
  powerpc/fsl_pci: Store the pci ctlr device ptr in the pci ctlr struct
  powerpc/85xx: Board support for ppa8548
  powerpc/fsl: remove extraneous DIU platform functions
  arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/p1022_ds.c: adjust duplicate test
  powerpc: Documentation for transactional memory on powerpc
  powerpc: Add transactional memory to pseries and ppc64 defconfigs
  powerpc: Add config option for transactional memory
  powerpc: Add transactional memory to POWER8 cpu features
  powerpc: Add new transactional memory state to the signal context
  powerpc: Hook in new transactional memory code
  powerpc: Routines for FP/VSX/VMX unavailable during a transaction
  powerpc: Add transactional memory unavaliable execption handler
  powerpc: Add reclaim and recheckpoint functions for context switching transactional memory processes
  powerpc: Add FP/VSX and VMX register load functions for transactional memory
  powerpc: Add helper functions for transactional memory context switching
