Merge series from Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>: Currently the SPI PXA2xx devices on Intel platforms can be instantiated via the following paths: 1) as ACPI LPSS device on Haswell, Bay Trail and Cherry Trail; 2) as ACPI LPSS device on the Sky Lake and newer; 3) as PCI LPSS device on Haswell, Bay Trail and Cherry Trail; 4) as PCI LPSS device on the Sky Lake and newer; 5) as PCI device via ID table. Each of these cases provides some platform related data differently, i.e.: 1) via drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c and drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx.c 2) via drivers/mfd/intel-lpss-acpi.c 3) via drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-pci.c 4) via drivers/mfd/intel-lpss-pci.c and drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx.c 5) via drivers/spi/spi-pxa2xx-pci.c This approach has two downsides: a) there is no data propagated in the case #2 because we can't have two or more drivers to match the same ACPI ID and hence some cases are still not supported (Sky Lake and newer ACPI enabled LPSS); b) the data is duplicated over two drivers in the cases #1 & #4 and, besides to be a bloatware, it is error prone (e.g. Lakefield has a wrong data right now due to missed PCI entry in the spi-pxa2xx.c). This series fixes the downsides, and enables previously unsupported cases.
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
