Pull inifiniband/rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
"This is a fairly sizeable set of changes. I've put them through a
decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to
that.
There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to
go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather
than waiting for those last few fixups.
Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a
temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some
cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack. We
deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear
back if we can deprecate another one (ehca). We also put Intel's new
hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a
transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and
the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use
that library.
I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel
releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final
deletions of deprecated drivers are done.
Summary of changes for 4.3:
- Create drivers/staging/rdma
- Move amso1100 driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
- Move ipath driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
- Add hfi1 driver to staging/rdma and set TODO for move to regular
tree
- Initial support for namespaces to be used on RDMA devices
- Add RoCE GID table handling to the RDMA core caching code
- Infrastructure to support handling of devices with differing read
and write scatter gather capabilities
- Various iSER updates
- Kill off unsafe usage of global mr registrations
- Update SRP driver
- Misc mlx4 driver updates
- Support for the mr_alloc verb
- Support for a netlink interface between kernel and user space cache
daemon to speed path record queries and route resolution
- Ininitial support for safe hot removal of verbs devices"

Create the rdma directory in the staging area for use as we deprecate
some older drivers and as we bring in some new drivers that are in
need of work. Update the MAINTAINERS file so that updates to these
files go to linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org. Expected lifespan of this
directory is three releases for any deprecated drivers moved here
and an unknown, but theoretically bounded amount of time for the new
drivers as a new core RDMA transfer library needs to be written and
the drivers modified to use it in order for them to move out of this
directory.

This patch adds the core module of the MOST driver to the kernel's driver
staging area. This module is part of the MOST driver and handles the
configuration interface in sysfs, the buffer management and the data
routing.
MOST defines the protocol, hardware and software layers necessary to allow
for the efficient and low-cost transport of control, real-time and packet
data using a single medium (physical layer). Media currently in use are
fiber optics, unshielded twisted pair cables (UTP) and coax cables. MOST
also supports various speed grades up to 150 Mbps.
For more information on MOST, visit the MOST Cooperation website:
www.mostcooperation.com.
Cars continue to evolve into sophisticated consumer electronics platforms,
increasing the demand for reliable and simple solutions to support audio,
video and data communications. MOST can be used to connect multiple
consumer devices via optical or electrical physical layers directly to one
another or in a network configuration. As a synchronous network, MOST
provides excellent Quality of Service and seamless connectivity for
audio/video streaming. Therefore, the driver perfectly fits to the mission
of Automotive Grade Linux to create open source software solutions for
automotive applications.
The driver consists basically of three layers. The hardware layer, the
core layer and the application layer. The core layer consists of the core
module only. This module handles the communication flow through all three
layers, the configuration of the driver, the configuration interface
representation in sysfs, and the buffer management.
For each of the other two layers a selection of modules is provided. These
modules can arbitrarily be combined to meet the needs of the desired
system architecture. A module of the hardware layer is referred to as an
HDM (hardware dependent module). Each module of this layer handles exactly
one of the peripheral interfaces of a network interface controller (e.g.
USB, MediaLB, I2C). A module of the application layer is referred to as an
AIM (application interfacing module). The modules of this layer give access
to MOST via one the following ways: character devices, ALSA, Networking or
V4L2.
To physically access MOST, an Intelligent Network Interface Controller
(INIC) is needed. For more information on available controllers visit:

This driver is for the wilc1000 which is a single chip IEEE 802.11
b/g/n device.
The driver works together with cfg80211, which is the kernel side of
configuration management for wireless devices because the wilc1000
chipset is fullmac where the MLME is managed in hardware.
The driver worked from kernel version 2.6.38 and being now ported
to several others since then.
A TODO file is included as well in this commit.

The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on
in the market.
The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O
and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an
obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody
would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and
have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it.
We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed
and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken
already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either.
It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor
cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years.
Move it to staging and then to /dev/null.
The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o.

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1.
We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good
thing, but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines
removed overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid
details.
The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder
code out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code
that has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the
tens of millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid,
and the userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going
to change due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because
so many devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable,
might as well promote it out of staging.
This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and
Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been
doing it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a
MAINTAINERS entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk
to the Google developers about if they are willing to help with it or
not, last I checked they were, which was good.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
reported issues"

The imx-drm driver was put into staging mostly for the following reasons,
all of which have been addressed or superseded:
- convert the irq driver to use linear irq domains
- work out the device tree bindings, this lead to the common of_graph
bindings being used
- factor out common helper functions, this mostly resulted in the
component framework and drm of_graph helpers.
Before adding new fixes, and certainly before adding new features,
move it into its proper place below drivers/gpu/drm.
