Merge tag 'regmap-v3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap
Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown:
"The main update this time around is the addition of a standard DT
binding for specifying the endianness of devices. This allows drivers
to support any endianness of device register map without any code,
useful for configurable IP blocks.
There's also a few bug fixes that I didn't get round to sending, none
of them terribly severe or new, and a reduction in size for struct
regmap"
