This patch fixes this section mismatch:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1efc4): Section mismatch in reference from
the function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() to the function
.init.text:ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9()

The function apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw() references the function
__init ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9().  This is often because
apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw lacks a __init annotation or the
annotation of ppc4xx_pciex_wait_on_sdr.isra.9 is wrong.

apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw is only referenced by a struct in
__initdata, so it should be safe to add __init to
apm821xx_pciex_init_port_hw.

Pull more powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "Here are a few more powerpc things for you.

  So you'll find here the conversion of the two new firmware sysfs
  interfaces to the new API for self-removing files that Greg and Tejun
  introduced, so they can finally remove the old one.

  I'm also reverting the hwmon driver for powernv.  I shouldn't have
  merged it, I got a bit carried away here.  I hadn't realized it was
  never CCed to the relevant maintainer(s) and list(s), and happens to
  have some issues so I'm taking it out and it will come back via the
  proper channels.

  The rest is a bunch of LE fixes (argh, some of the new stuff was
  broken on LE, I really need to start testing LE myself !) and various
  random fixes here and there.

  Finally one bit that's not strictly a fix, which is the HVC OPAL
  change to "kick" the HVC thread when the firmware tells us there is
  new incoming data.  I don't feel like waiting for this one, it's
  simple enough, and it makes a big difference in console responsiveness
  which is good for my nerves"

* 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: (26 commits)
  powerpc/powernv Adapt opal-elog and opal-dump to new sysfs_remove_file_self
  Revert "powerpc/powernv: hwmon driver for power values, fan rpm and temperature"
  power, sched: stop updating inside arch_update_cpu_topology() when nothing to be update
  powerpc/le: Avoid creatng R_PPC64_TOCSAVE relocations for modules.

  powerpc/opal: Add missing include
  powerpc: Convert last uses of __FUNCTION__ to __func__
  powerpc: Add lq/stq emulation

<title>rapidio: rework device hierarchy and introduce mport class of devices</title>

<id>2aaf308b95b24649a6dcfed89cd956e972089b2a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes
actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices.
It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip
or an eternal bridge, known as "mport").

Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have
a single RapidIO controller.  With introduction of devices using
multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme
is very limiting or does not work at all.  The implemented changes allow
to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide
device details needed for upper layers.

This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known
existing kernel or user space interfaces.

Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
 "Updates to devicetree core code.  This branch contains the following
  notable changes:

   - add reserved memory binding
   - make struct device_node a kobject and remove legacy
     /proc/device-tree
   - ePAPR conformance fixes
   - update in-kernel DTC copy to version v1.4.0
   - preparatory changes for dynamic device tree overlays
   - minor bug fixes and documentation changes

  The most significant change in this branch is the conversion of struct
  device_node to be a kobject that is exposed via sysfs and removal of
  the old /proc/device-tree code.  This simplifies the device tree
  handling code and tightens up the lifecycle on device tree nodes.

Pull main powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "This time around, the powerpc merges are going to be a little bit more
  complicated than usual.

  This is the main pull request with most of the work for this merge
  window.  I will describe it a bit more further down.

  There is some additional cpuidle driver work, however I haven't
  included it in this tree as it depends on some work in tip/timer-core
  which Thomas accidentally forgot to put in a topic branch.  Since I
  didn't want to carry all of that tip timer stuff in powerpc -next, I
  setup a separate branch on top of Thomas tree with just that cpuidle
  driver in it, and Stephen has been carrying that in next separately
  for a while now.  I'll send a separate pull request for it.

  Additionally, two new pieces in this tree add users for a sysfs API
  that Tejun and Greg have been deprecating in drivers-core-next.
  Thankfully Greg reverted the patch that removes the old API so this
  merge can happen cleanly, but once merged, I will send a patch
  adjusting our new code to the new API so that Greg can send you the
  removal patch.

  Now as for the content of this branch, we have a lot of perf work for
  power8 new counters including support for our new "nest" counters
  (also called 24x7) under pHyp (not natively yet).

  We have new functionality when running under the OPAL firmware
  (non-virtualized or KVM host), such as access to the firmware error
  logs and service processor dumps, system parameters and sensors, along
  with a hwmon driver for the latter.

  There's also a bunch of bug fixes accross the board, some LE fixes,
  and a nice set of selftests for validating our various types of copy
  loops.

  On the Freescale side, we see mostly new chip/board revisions, some
  clock updates, better support for machine checks and debug exceptions,
  etc..."

<title>fsl/pci: The new pci suspend/resume implementation</title>

If we do nothing in suspend/resume, some platform PCIe ip-block
can't guarantee the link back to L0 state from sleep, then, when
we read the EP device will hang. Only we send pme turnoff message
in pci controller suspend, and send pme exit message in resume, the
link state will be normal.

When we send pme turnoff message in pci controller suspend, the
links will into l2/l3 ready, then, host cannot communicate with
ep device, but pci-driver will call back EP device to save them
state. So we need to change platform_driver-&gt;suspend/resume to
syscore-&gt;suspend/resume.

So the new suspend/resume implementation, send pme turnoff message
in suspend, and send pme exit message in resume. And add a PME handler,
to response PME &amp; message interrupt.

Change platform_driver-&gt;suspend/resume to syscore-&gt;suspend/resume.
pci-driver will call back EP device, to save EP state in
pci_pm_suspend_noirq, so we need to keep the link, until
pci_pm_suspend_noirq finish.

Device tree nodes are already treated as objects, and we already want to
expose them to userspace which is done using the /proc filesystem today.
Right now the kernel has to do a lot of work to keep the /proc view in
sync with the in-kernel representation. If device_nodes are switched to
be kobjects then the device tree code can be a whole lot simpler. It
also turns out that switching to using /sysfs from /proc results in
smaller code and data size, and the userspace ABI won't change if
/proc/device-tree symlinks to /sys/firmware/devicetree/base.

v7: Add missing sysfs_bin_attr_init()
v6: Add __of_add_property() early init fixes from Pantelis
v5: Rename firmware/ofw to firmware/devicetree
    Fix updating property values in sysfs
v4: Fixed build error on Powerpc
    Fixed handling of dynamic nodes on powerpc
v3: Fixed handling of duplicate attribute and child node names
v2: switch to using sysfs bin_attributes which solve the problem of
    reporting incorrect property size.
