Merge tag 'asm-generic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic

Pull asm-generic asm/io.h rewrite from Arnd Bergmann:
 "While there normally is no reason to have a pull request for
  asm-generic but have all changes get merged through whichever tree
  needs them, I do have a series for 3.19.

  There are two sets of patches that change significant portions of
  asm/io.h, and this branch contains both in order to resolve the
  conflicts:

   - Will Deacon has done a set of patches to ensure that all
     architectures define {read,write}{b,w,l,q}_relaxed() functions or
     get them by including asm-generic/io.h.

     These functions are commonly used on ARM specific drivers to avoid
     expensive L2 cache synchronization implied by the normal
     {read,write}{b,w,l,q}, but we need to define them on all
     architectures in order to share the drivers across architectures
     and to enable CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST configurations for them

   - Thierry Reding has done an unrelated set of patches that extends
     the asm-generic/io.h file to the degree necessary to make it useful
     on ARM64 and potentially other architectures"

-     These are similar to readX(), but are not guaranteed to be ordered in any
-     way. Be aware that there is no I/O read barrier available.
+ (*) readX_relaxed(), writeX_relaxed()
+
+     These are similar to readX() and writeX(), but provide weaker memory
+     ordering guarantees. Specifically, they do not guarantee ordering with
+     respect to normal memory accesses (e.g. DMA buffers) nor do they guarantee
+     ordering with respect to LOCK or UNLOCK operations. If the latter is
+     required, an mmiowb() barrier can be used. Note that relaxed accesses to
+     the same peripheral are guaranteed to be ordered with respect to each
+     other.
