Merge tag 'drm-intel-fixes-2015-07-15' into drm-intel-next-queued
Backmerge fixes since it's getting out of hand again with the massive split due to atomic between -next and 4.2-rc. All the bugfixes in 4.2-rc are addressed already (by converting more towards atomic instead of minimal duct-tape) so just always pick the version in next for the conflicts in modeset code. All the other conflicts are just adjacent lines changed. Conflicts: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem_gtt.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_drv.h drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ringbuffer.h Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com>

+Generic hwlock bindings
+=======================
+
+Generic bindings that are common to all the hwlock platform specific driver
+implementations.
+
+Please also look through the individual platform specific hwlock binding
+documentations for identifying any additional properties specific to that
+platform.
+
+hwlock providers:
+=================
+
+Required properties:
+- #hwlock-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to represent a
+ specific lock.
+
+hwlock users:
+=============
+
+Consumers that require specific hwlock(s) should specify them using the
+property "hwlocks", and an optional "hwlock-names" property.
+
+Required properties:
+- hwlocks: List of phandle to a hwlock provider node and an
+ associated hwlock args specifier as indicated by
+ #hwlock-cells. The list can have just a single hwlock
+ or multiple hwlocks, with each hwlock represented by
+ a phandle and a corresponding args specifier.
+
+Optional properties:
+- hwlock-names: List of hwlock name strings defined in the same order
+ as the hwlocks, with one name per hwlock. Consumers can
+ use the hwlock-names to match and get a specific hwlock.
+
+
+1. Example of a node using a single specific hwlock:
+
+The following example has a node requesting a hwlock in the bank defined by
+the node hwlock1. hwlock1 is a hwlock provider with an argument specifier
+of length 1.
+
+ node {
+ ...
+ hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>;
+ ...
+ };
+
+2. Example of a node using multiple specific hwlocks:
+
+The following example has a node requesting two hwlocks, a hwlock within
+the hwlock device node 'hwlock1' with #hwlock-cells value of 1, and another
+hwlock within the hwlock device node 'hwlock2' with #hwlock-cells value of 2.
+
+ node {
+ ...
+ hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>, <&hwlock2 0 3>;
+ ...
+ };
