Merge tag 'armsoc-drivers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc
Pull ARM SoC driver updates from Olof Johansson: "As we've enabled multiplatform kernels on ARM, and greatly done away with the contents under arch/arm/mach-*, there's still need for SoC-related drivers to go somewhere. Many of them go in through other driver trees, but we still have drivers/soc to hold some of the "doesn't fit anywhere" lowlevel code that might be shared between ARM and ARM64 (or just in general makes sense to not have under the architecture directory). This branch contains mostly such code: - Drivers for qualcomm SoCs for SMEM, SMD and SMD-RPM, used to communicate with power management blocks on these SoCs for use by clock, regulator and bus frequency drivers. - Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus driver, again used to communicate with PMICs. - Drivers for ARM's SCPI (System Control Processor). Not to be confused with PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface). SCPI is used to communicate with the assistant embedded cores doing power management, and we have yet to see how many of them will implement this for their hardware vs abstracting in other ways (or not at all like in the past). - To make confusion between SCPI and PSCI more likely, this release also includes an update of PSCI to interface version 1.0. - Rockchip support for power domains. - A driver to talk to the firmware on Raspberry Pi" * tag 'armsoc-drivers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (57 commits) soc: qcom: smd-rpm: Correct size of outgoing message bus: sunxi-rsb: Add driver for Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus bus: sunxi-rsb: Add Allwinner Reduced Serial Bus (RSB) controller bindings ARM: bcm2835: add mutual inclusion protection drivers: psci: make PSCI 1.0 functions initialization version dependent dt-bindings: Correct paths in Rockchip power domains binding document soc: rockchip: power-domain: don't try to print the clock name in error case soc: qcom/smem: add HWSPINLOCK dependency clk: berlin: add cpuclk ARM: berlin: dts: add CLKID_CPU for BG2Q ARM: bcm2835: Add the Raspberry Pi firmware driver soc: qcom: smem: Move RPM message ram out of smem DT node soc: qcom: smd-rpm: Correct the active vs sleep state flagging soc: qcom: smd: delete unneeded of_node_put firmware: qcom-scm: build for correct architecture level soc: qcom: smd: Correct SMEM items for upper channels qcom-scm: add missing prototype for qcom_scm_is_available() qcom-scm: fix endianess issue in __qcom_scm_is_call_available soc: qcom: smd: Reject send of too big packets soc: qcom: smd: Handle big endian CPUs ...

+Kernel driver scpi-hwmon
+========================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Chips based on ARM System Control Processor Interface

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for SoC's based on the ARM
+System Control Processor (SCP) implementing the System Control
+Processor Interface (SCPI). The following sensor types are supported
+by the SCP -
+
+ * temperature
+ * voltage
+ * current
+ * power
+
+The SCP interface provides an API to query the available sensors and
+their values which are then exported to userspace by this driver.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+The driver relies on device tree node to indicate the presence of SCPI
+support in the kernel. See
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/arm,scpi.txt for details of the
+devicetree node. \ No newline at end of file
