Merge tag 'for-v4.6-rc/omap-fixes-a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pjw/omap-pending into omap-for-v4.6/fixes
ARM: OMAP2+: first hwmod fix for v4.6-rc Fix a longstanding bug in the hwmod code that could cause hardware SYSCONFIG register values to not match the kernel's idea of what they should be, and that could result in lower performance during IP block idle entry. Basic build, boot, and PM test logs are available here: http://www.pwsan.com/omap/testlogs/omap-hwmod-fixes-a-for-v4.6-rc/20160326231727/
