[ARM] pxa: allow dynamic enable/disable of GPIO wakeup for pxa{25x,27x}
Changes include:
1. rename MFP_LPM_WAKEUP_ENABLE into MFP_LPM_CAN_WAKEUP to indicate
the board capability of this pin to wakeup the system
2. add gpio_set_wake() and keypad_set_wake() to allow dynamically

dependency to the MFP configuration
3. pxa2xx_mfp_config() only gives early warning if MFP_LPM_CAN_WAKEUP
is set on incorrect pins
So that the GPIO's wakeup capability is now decided by the following:
a) processor's capability: (only those GPIOs which have dedicated
bits within PWER/PRER/PFER can wakeup the system), this is
initialized by pxa{25x,27x}_init_mfp()
b) board design decides:
- whether the pin is designed to wakeup the system (some of
the GPIOs are configured as other functions, which is not
intended to be a wakeup source), by OR'ing the pin config
with MFP_LPM_CAN_WAKEUP
- which edge the pin is designed to wakeup the system, this
may depends on external peripherals/connections, which is
totally board specific; this is indicated by MFP_LPM_EDGE_*

[ARM] pxa: add MFP-alike pin configuration support for pxa{25x, 27x}
Pin configuration on pxa{25x,27x} has now separated from generic GPIO
into dedicated mfp-pxa2xx.c by this patch. The name "mfp" is borrowed
from pxa3xx and is used here to alert the difference between the two
concepts: pin configuration and generic GPIOs. A GPIO can be called
a "GPIO" _only_ when the corresponding pin is configured so.
A pin configuration on pxa{25x,27x} is composed of:
- alternate function selection (or pin mux as commonly called)
- low power state or sleep state
- wakeup enabling from low power mode
The following MFP_xxx bit definitions in mfp.h are re-used:
Selecting alternate function on pxa{25x, 27x} involves configuration
of GPIO direction register GPDRx, so a new bit and MFP_DIR_{IN, OUT}
are introduced. And pin configurations are defined by the following
two macros:
- MFP_CFG_IN : for input alternate functions
- MFP_CFG_OUT : for output alternate functions
Every configuration should provide a low power state if it configured
as output using MFP_CFG_OUT(). As a general guideline, the low power
state should be decided to minimize the overall power dissipation. As
an example, it is better to drive the pin as high level in low power
mode if the GPIO is configured as an active low chip select.
Pins configured as GPIO are defined by MFP_CFG_IN(). This is to avoid
side effects when it is firstly configured as output. The actual
direction of the GPIO is configured by gpio_direction_{input, output}
Wakeup enabling on pxa{25x, 27x} is actually GPIO based wakeup, thus
the device based enable_irq_wake() mechanism is not applicable here.
E.g. invoking enable_irq_wake() with a GPIO IRQ as in the following
code to enable OTG wakeup is by no means portable and intuitive, and
it is valid _only_ when GPIO35 is configured as USB_P2_1:
enable_irq_wake( gpio_to_irq(35) );
To make things worse, not every GPIO is able to wakeup the system.
Only a small number of them can, on either rising or falling edge,
or when level is high (for keypad GPIOs).
Thus, another new bit is introduced to indicate that the GPIO will
wakeup the system:
- MFP_LPM_WAKEUP_ENABLE
The following macros can be used in platform code, and be OR'ed to
the GPIO configuration to enable its wakeup:

This patch also removes the ugly #ifdef CONFIG_PXA27x .. #endif by
carefully not to access those pxa{27x,3xx} specific registers, this
is done by keeping an internal IRQ number variable. The pxa-regs.h
is also modified so registers for IRQ > PXA_IRQ(31) are made public
even if CONFIG_PXA{27x,3xx} isn't defined (for pxa25x's sake)

sata_promise: fix hardreset hotplug events, take 2
A Promise SATA controller will signal hotplug events when a hard
reset (COMRESET) is done on a port. These events aren't masked by
the driver, and the unexpected interrupts will cause a sequence
of failed reset attempts util libata's EH finally gives up.
This has not been a common problem so far, but the pending libata
hardreset-by-default changes makes it a critical issue.
The solution is to disable hotplug events before a reset, and to
reenable them afterwards. (Promise's driver does this too.)
This patch adds SATA-specific versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw()
that also disable and enable hotplug events. PATA ports continue
to use the old versions of ->freeze() and ->thaw().
Accesses to the hotplug register must be serialised via host->lock.
We rely on ap->lock == &ap->host->lock and that libata takes this
lock before ->freeze() and ->thaw(). Document this requirement.
The interrupt handler is adjusted so its hotplug register accesses
are inside the region protected by host->lock.
Tested on various chips (SATA300TX4, SATA300TX2plus, SATAII150TX4,
FastTrack TX4000) with various combinations of SATA and PATA disks,
with and without the pending hardreset-by-default changes.

hw_random doc updates
Update documentation for the hw_random support to be current:
- Documentation/hw_random.txt has been updated to reflect the
current code: it's a framework now, a "core" with a small
sysfs interface, that hardware-specific drivers plug in to.
Text specific to Intel hardware is now at the end.
- Kconfig now references the Documentation/hw_random.txt file
and better explains what this really does.
Both chunks of documentation now higlight the fact that the kernel entropy
pool is maintained by "rngd", and this driver has nothing directly to do with
that important task.

smackfs: remove redundant lock, fix open(,O_RDWR)
Older smackfs was parsing MAC rules by characters, thus a need of locking
write sessions on open() was needed. This lock is no longer useful now since
each rule is handled by a single write() call.
This is also a bugfix since seq_open() was not called if an open() O_RDWR flag
was given, leading to a seq_read() without an initialized seq_file, thus an
Oops.

mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core
With numa enabled, some callers could have a range of memory on one node
but try to free that on other node. This can cause some pages to be
freed wrongly.
For example: when we try to allocate 128g boot ram early for
gart/swiotlb, and free that range later so gart/swiotlb can get some
range afterwards.
With this patch, we don't need to care which node holds the range, just
loop to call free_bootmem_node for all online nodes.
This patch makes free_bootmem_core() more robust by trimming the sidx
and eidx according the ram range that the node has.
And make the free_bootmem_core handle this out of range case. We could
use bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure. So next
time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use free_bootmem
directly.

mtd: memory corruption in block2mtd.c
The block2mtd driver (drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c) will kfree an on-stack
pointer when handling an invalid argument line (e.g.
block2mtd=/dev/loop0,xxx).
The kfree was added some time ago when "name" was dynamically allocated.

libata: improve HPA error handling
There's no point in retrying and eventually failing device detection
when the device rejects READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT]. Disable HPA unlocking
if READ_NATIVE_MAX[_EXT] is rejected as done when SET_MAX[_EXT] is
rejected.
This allows some old drives to work even if they aren't blacklisted.

libata: assume no device is attached if both IDENTIFYs are aborted
This is to fix bugzilla #10254. QSI cdrom attached to pata_sis as
secondary master appears as phantom device for the slave.
Interestingly, instead of not setting DRQ after IDENTIFY which
triggers NODEV_HINT, it aborts both IDENTIFY and IDENTIFY PACKET which
makes EH retry.
Modify EH such that it assumes no device is attached if both flavors
of IDENTIFY are aborted by the device. There really isn't much point
in retrying when the device actively aborts the commands.
While at it, convert NODEV detection message to ata_dev_printk() to
help debugging obscure detection problems.
