<content type='text'>
The "Display Engine 2.0" (usually called DE2) on the Allwinner A64 SoC
is different from the ones on other Allwinner SoCs. It requires a SRAM
region to be claimed, otherwise all DE2 subblocks won't be accessible.

Add a bus driver for the Allwinner A64 DE2 part which claims the SRAM
region when probing.

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "The main addition this time around is the new ARM "SCMI" framework,
  which is the latest in a series of standards coming from ARM to do
  power management in a platform independent way.

  This has been through many review cycles, and it relies on a rather
  interesting way of using the mailbox subsystem, but in the end I
  agreed that Sudeep's version was the best we could do after all.

  Other changes include:

   - the ARM CCN driver is moved out of drivers/bus into drivers/perf,
     which makes more sense. Similarly, the performance monitoring
     portion of the CCI driver are moved the same way and cleaned up a
     little more.

   - a series of updates to the SCPI framework

   - support for the Mediatek mt7623a SoC in drivers/soc

   - support for additional NVIDIA Tegra hardware in drivers/soc

   - a new reset driver for Socionext Uniphier

   - lesser bug fixes in drivers/soc, drivers/tee, drivers/memory, and
     drivers/firmware and drivers/reset across platforms"

<title>HISI LPC: Support the LPC host on Hip06/Hip07 with DT bindings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:adf38bb0b5956ab5469acb1ca981a9287c7ad1d8</id>
<content type='text'>
The low-pin-count (LPC) interface of Hip06/Hip07 accesses I/O port space of
peripherals.

Implement the LPC host controller driver which performs the I/O operations
on the underlying hardware.  We don't want to touch existing drivers such
as ipmi-bt, so this driver applies the indirect-IO introduced in the
previous patch after registering an indirect-IO node to the indirect-IO
devices list which will be searched by the I/O accessors to retrieve the
host-local I/O port.

The driver config is set as a bool instead of a tristate.  The reason here
is that, by the very nature of the driver providing a logical PIO range, it
does not make sense to have this driver as a loadable module.  Another more
specific reason is that the Huawei D03 board which includes Hip06 SoC
requires the LPC bus for UART console, so should be built in.

<content type='text'>
The arm-ccn driver is purely a perf driver for the CCN PMU, not a bus
driver in the sense of the other residents of drivers/bus/, so let's
move it to the appropriate place for SoC PMU drivers. Not to mention
moving the documentation accordingly as well.

Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This branch contains platform-related driver updates for ARM and
  ARM64, these are the areas that bring the changes:

  New drivers:

   - driver support for Renesas R-Car V3M (R8A77970)

   - power management support for Amlogic GX

   - a new driver for the Tegra BPMP thermal sensor

   - a new bus driver for Technologic Systems NBUS

  Changes for subsystems that prefer to merge through arm-soc:

   - the usual updates for reset controller drivers from Philipp Zabel,
     with five added drivers for SoCs in the arc, meson, socfpa,
     uniphier and mediatek families

   - updates to the ARM SCPI and PSCI frameworks, from Sudeep Holla,
     Heiner Kallweit and Lorenzo Pieralisi

  Changes specific to some ARM-based SoC

   - the Freescale/NXP DPAA QBMan drivers from PowerPC can now work on
     ARM as well

   - several changes for power management on Broadcom SoCs

   - various improvements on Qualcomm, Broadcom, Amlogic, Atmel,
     Mediatek

   - minor Cleanups for Samsung, TI OMAP SoCs"

[ NOTE! This doesn't work without the previous ARM SoC device-tree pull,
  because the R8A77970 driver is missing a header file that came from
  that pull.

  The fact that this got merged afterwards only fixes it at this point,
  and bisection of that driver will fail if/when you walk into the
  history of that driver.           - Linus ]

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Most of the commits are for defconfig changes, to enable newly added
  drivers or features that people have started using. For the changed
  lines lines, we have mostly cleanups, the affected platforms are OMAP,
  Versatile, EP93xx, Samsung, Broadcom, i.MX, and Actions.

  The largest single change is the introduction of the TI "sysc" bus
  driver, with the intention of cleaning up more legacy code.

  Two new SoC platforms get added this time:

   - Allwinner R40 is a modernized version of the A20 chip, now with a
     Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A7. According to the manufacturer, it is
     intended for "Smart Hardware"

   - Broadcom Hurricane 2 (Aka Strataconnect BCM5334X) is a family of
     chips meant for managed gigabit ethernet switches, based around a
     Cortex-A9 CPU.

  Finally, we gain SMP support for two platforms: Renesas R-Car E2 and
  Amlogic Meson8/8b, which were previously added but only supported
  uniprocessor operation"

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
