Move the generic implementation to &lt;linux/dma-mapping.h&gt; now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "Generic MTD:

   - populate the MTD device 'of_node' field (and get a proper 'of_node'
     symlink in sysfs)

     This yielded some new helper functions, and changes across a
     variety of drivers

   - partitioning cleanups, to prepare for better device-tree based
     partitioning in the future

     Eliminate a lot of boilerplate for drivers that want to use
     OF-based partition parsing

     The DT bindings for this didn't settle yet, so most non-cleanup
     portions are deferred for a future release

  NAND:

   - embed a struct mtd_info inside struct nand_chip

     This is really long overdue; too many drivers have to do the same
     silly boilerplate to allocate and link up two "independent"
     structs, when in fact, everyone is assuming there is an exact 1:1
     relationship between a NAND chips struct and its underlying MTD.
     This aids improved helpers and should make certain abstractions
     easier in the future.

     Also causes a lot of churn, helped along by some automated code
     transformations

   - add more core support for detecting (and "correcting") bitflips in
     erased pages; requires opt-in by drivers, but at least we kill a
     few bad implementations and hopefully stave off future ones

   - pxa3xx_nand: cleanups, a few fixes, and PM improvements

   - new JZ4780 NAND driver

  SPI NOR:

   - provide default erase function, for controllers that just want to
     send the SECTOR_ERASE command directly

   - fix some module auto-loading issues with device tree
     ("jedec,spi-nor")

   - error handling fixes

   - new Mediatek QSPI flash driver

  Other:

   - cfi: force valid geometry Kconfig (finally!)

     This one used to trip up randconfigs occasionally, since bots
     aren't deterred by big scary "advanced configuration" menus

  More? Probably. See the commit logs"

Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
  branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
  had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.

  Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
  switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
  of various kinds, several new helpers for -&gt;llseek(), assorted
  cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.

  One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
  lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
  called without -&gt;i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
  course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
  but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
  with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
  changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
  *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
  and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with -&gt;lookup() done under lock
  taken shared.

  There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
  of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
  -&gt;i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
  inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:

    -----
    |    This is an automated patch using
    |
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_lock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_unlock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_unlock(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_lock_nested(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex,[     ]*I_MUTEX_\([A-Z0-9_]*\))/inode_lock_nested(\1, I_MUTEX_\2)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_is_locked(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_is_locked(\1)/'
    |        sed 's/mutex_trylock(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;i_mutex)/inode_trylock(\1)/'
    |
    |    with a very few manual fixups
    -----

  I'm going to send that once the -&gt;i_mutex-affecting stuff in -next
  gets mostly merged (or when Linus says he's about to stop taking
  merges)"

* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits)
  nfsd: don't hold i_mutex over userspace upcalls
  fs:affs:Replace time_t with time64_t

 "The part of patches for Kernel 4.5.  There's nothing really big here:

   - driver-specific headers for media devices were moved to separate

     kABI and require documentation

   - Platform data for media drivers were moved from include/media to
     include/linux/platform_data/media

   - add a driver for cs3308 8-channel volume control, used on some
     high-end capture boards

   - lirc.h kAPI header were added at include/uapi/linux

   - Driver cleanups, new board additions and improvements"
