Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 "A fairly large (by DT standards) pull request this time with the
  majority being some overdue moving DT binding docs around to
  consolidate similar bindings.

   - DT binding doc consolidation moving similar bindings to common
     locations.  The majority of these are display related which were
     scattered in video/, fb/, drm/, gpu/, and panel/ directories.

   - Add new config option, CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS, to enable building all
     dtbs in the tree for most arches with dts files (except powerpc for
     now).

   - OF_IRQ=n fixes for user enabled CONFIG_OF.

   - of_node_put ref counting fixes from Julia Lawall.

   - Common DT binding for wakeup-source and deprecation of all similar
     bindings.

   - DT binding for PXA LCD controller.

   - Allow ignoring failed PCI resource translations in order to ignore
     64-bit addresses on non-LPAE 32-bit kernels.

   - Support setting the NUMA node from DT instead of only from parent
     device.

   - Couple of earlycon DT parsing fixes for address and options"

Enable building all dtb files when CONFIG_OF_ALL_DTBS is enabled. The dtbs
are not really dependent on a platform being enabled or any other kernel
config, so for testing coverage it is convenient to build all of the dtbs.
This builds all dts files in the tree, not just targets listed.

Use dtb-y and always make variables to build dtbs instead of explicit

<content type='text'>
Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

<content type='text'>
This patch makes sure that atomic_{read,set}() are at least
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

We already had the 'requirement' that atomic_read() should use
ACCESS_ONCE(), and most archs had this, but a few were lacking.
All are now converted to use READ_ONCE().

And, by a symmetry and general paranoia argument, upgrade atomic_set()
to use WRITE_ONCE().

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper

The irq_ctx_init()/irq_ctx_exit() functions are only used for 4KiB
stacks, otherwise they are implemented as an empty macro. To prevent
future bit rottage due to the cpu argument not being type checked,
convert the macros to empty static inline functions.
