We want to allow drivers to call input_event() at any time after the
device got allocated. This means input_event() and input_register_device()
must be allowed to run in parallel.
The only conflicting calls in input_register_device() are init_timer() and
dev_set_name(). Both can safely be moved to device allocation and we're
good to go.

A number of new drivers and some new functionality + a lot of cleanups
all over IIO.
New Core Elements
1) New INT_TIME info_mask element for integration time, which may have
different effects on measurement noise and similar, than an amplifier
and hence is different from existing SCALE. Already existed in some
drivers as a custom attribute.
2) Introduce a iio_push_buffers_with_timestamp helper to cover the common
case of filling the last 64 bits of data to be passed to the buffer with
a timestamp. Applied to lots of drivers. Cuts down on repeated code and
moves a slightly fiddly bit of logic into a single location.
3) Introduce info_mask_[shared_by_dir/shared_by_all] elements to allow support
of elements such as sampling_frequency which is typically shared by all
input channels on a device. This reduces code and makes these controls
available from in kernel consumers of IIO devices.
New drivers
1) MCP3422/3/4 ADC
2) TSL4531 ambient light sensor
3) TCS3472/5 color light sensor
4) GP2AP020A00F ambient light / proximity sensor
5) LPS001WP support added to ST pressure sensor driver.
New driver functionality
1) ti_am335x_adc Add buffered sampling support.
This device has a hardware fifo that is fed directly into an IIO kfifo
buffer based on a watershed interrupt. Note this will act as an example
of how to handle this increasingly common type of device.
The only previous example - sca3000 - take a less than optimal approach
which is largely why it is still in staging.
A couple of little cleanups for that new functionality followed later.
Core cleanups:
1) MAINTAINERS - Sachin actually brought my email address up to date because
I said I'd do it and never got around to it :)
2) Assign buffer list elements as single element lists to simplify the
iio_buffer_is_active logic.
3) wake_up_interruptible_poll instead of wake_up_interruptible to only wake
up threads waiting for poll notifications.
4) Add O_CLOEXEC flag to anon_inode_get_fd call for IIO event interface.
5) Change iio_push_to_buffers to take a void * pointer so as to avoid some
annoying and unnecessary type casts.
6) iio_compute_scan_bytes incorrectly took a long rather than unsigned long.
7) Various minor tidy ups.
Driver cleanups (in no particular order)
1) Another set of devm_ allocations patches from Sachin Kamat.
2) tsl2x7x - 0 to NULL cleanup.
3) hmc5843 - fix missing > in MODULE_AUTHOR
4) Set of strict_strto* to kstrto* conversions.
5) mxs-lradc - fix ordering of resource removal to match creation
6) mxs-lradc - add MODULE_ALIAS
7) adc7606 - drop a work pending test duplicated in core functions.
8) hmc5843 - devm_ allocation patch
9) Series of redundant breaks removed.
10) ad2s1200 - pr_err -> dev_err
11) adjd_s311 - use INT_TIME
12) ST sensors - large set of cleanups from Lee Jones and removed restriction
to using only triggers provided by the st_sensors themselves from
Dennis Ciocca.
13) dummy and tmp006 provide sampling_frequency via info_mask_shared_by_all.
14) tcs3472 - fix incorrect buffer size and wrong device pointer used in
suspend / resume functions.
15) max1363 - use defaults for buffer setup ops as provided by the triggered
buffer helpers as they are the same as were specified in max1363 driver.
16) Trivial tidy ups in a number of other drivers.

Enable shared IRQ to allow ADC to share IRQ line from
parent MFD core. Only FIFO0 IRQs are for TSC and handled
on the TSC side.
Step mask would be updated from cached variable only previously.
In rare cases when both TSC and ADC are used, the cached
variable gets mixed up.
The step mask is written with the required mask every time.

The EMR sensor of Intuos4 and newer devices can send a packet with
0x20 in its second byte which contains only location information.
This packet is sent when the pen is too far away to reliably obtain
other information. Because only the location is updated userspace
will continue to see stale information for other values, most notably
TOUCH, PRESSURE, and DISTANCE.
This patch ensures userspace is not left with stale device state
information when the pen re-enters proximity (possibly leading to
the assumption the pen is still in contact even though it is
actually hovering).

When 8042 internal data buffer is full, the driver
erroneously decides that the controller is not present.
i8042_flush returns the number of flushed bytes, which is
in 0 - I8042_BUFFER_SIZE range inclusive. Therefore, i8042_flush
has no way to indicate an error. Moreover i8042_controller_check
takes initially full buffer (i8042_flush returned
I8042_BUFFER_SIZE) as a sign of absence of the controller.
Let's change i8042 to return success/error instead and make sure

A NULL pointer dereference exception occurs in the driver probe function when
device tree is used. The pdata pointer will be NULL in this case, but the code
dereferences it in all cases. When device tree is used, a platform data
structure is allocated and initialized, and in all cases this pointer is copied
to the driver's private data, so the variable being tested should be accessed

If we have multiple sessions on a system, we normally don't want
background sessions to read input events. Otherwise, it could capture
passwords and more entered by the user on the foreground session. This is
a real world problem as the recent XMir development showed:
http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/27327.html
We currently rely on sessions to release input devices when being
deactivated. This relies on trust across sessions. But that's not given on
usual systems. We therefore need a way to control which processes have
access to input devices.
With VTs the kernel simply routed them through the active /dev/ttyX. This
is not possible with evdev devices, though. Moreover, we want to avoid
routing input-devices through some dispatcher-daemon in userspace (which
would add some latency).
This patch introduces EVIOCREVOKE. If called on an evdev fd, this revokes
device-access irrecoverably for that *single* open-file. Hence, once you
call EVIOCREVOKE on any dup()ed fd, all fds for that open-file will be
rather useless now (but still valid compared to close()!). This allows us
to pass fds directly to session-processes from a trusted source. The
source keeps a dup()ed fd and revokes access once the session-process is
no longer active.
Compared to the EVIOCMUTE proposal, we can avoid the CAP_SYS_ADMIN
restriction now as there is no way to revive the fd again. Hence, a user
is free to call EVIOCREVOKE themself to kill the fd.
Additionally, this ioctl allows multi-layer access-control (again compared
to EVIOCMUTE which was limited to one layer via CAP_SYS_ADMIN). A middle
layer can simply request a new open-file from the layer above and pass it
to the layer below. Now each layer can call EVIOCREVOKE on the fds to
revoke access for all layers below, at the expense of one fd per layer.
There's already ongoing experimental user-space work which demonstrates
how it can be used:
