This adds support for new features, and contains stuff from most platforms. A number of these patches could have fit into other branches, too, but were small enough not to cause too much confusion here. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUATwtYgGCrR//JCVInAQKzRRAAybELlfOIT1fyVlzkzIgw0/OKxS75Vqda v5mNYUfQ001WxGjwbFGgFphrQgyhulmLj6gN5l1rwaBjEZlwLe5uk3sReeqeDMLk bERLbpg22ymka4JVhvugq5qh9UP2ptlvZV/cAZC0u2JBq+CaarFIJsrzbOyXAngf 4kUkaMhKi8DDZTqrwwACaLxR7qtf3ddiSxNLZ93X4fDh4a3qs/EJErVg/xCFlfM3 YTzTjKuqLV2cGT34E9YTJieN9o94G+PiqvbDsP3kOwG2dSElpRWsZwX/0hDoyCxN cWbqPfrrdzt/kDcNnNd8MZ16AJlPc4ElVVEWPF71tKP3HfKqtZ0vMlpzsldioFz6 8AKvaXJXRkRddY4KqNcXeEQHcDxO0uniG/3lhZY8NlzO/1PnPQ4hGl8fhw+e/2z0 nAQFUsCVIXacsxamPk/fFBUhYzyK7JrnH4pB3b7SPcCj7X9MVyWK+pbT5LA+VGOL Ys8tv3NtTWEObyW1s3NT+BEy9FkkRu4EG3TxPwHUXk4BTwa6nDmJBPjk7Hv7q4cn T58lPet8Aylhht2aZx+0dxK3MHtMOmgsJ5jQF0OAi48Kmx8kXPZ1AeXObROncbZL aI7qfuGTzps7MlUBYlmrMdceTfYLeOqIEoVyFX8N4xLE33alk8DMKc37QoTJVuxQ KrY8sCVMkK0= =N2B4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'devel' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc New feature development This adds support for new features, and contains stuff from most platforms.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
