net: broadcom: fix FIXED_PHY dependencies

This patch series removes the bogus "select FIXED_PHY if FOO=y" that I have
been using in GENET, SYSTEMPORT and the SF2 DSA switch driver.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There is no need to do the following:

net/macb: fix multiqueue support patch up

This series of patches is a fixup for the multiqueue support patch.

The first patch fixes a bug introduced by the multiqueue support patch.
The second one doesn't fix a bug but simplify the source code by removing
useless calls to devm_free_irq() since we use managed device resources for
IRQs.

They were applied on the net-next tree and tested with a sama5d36ek board.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Inside macb_probe(), when devm_request_irq() fails on queue q, there is no need
to call devm_free_irq() on queues 0..q-1 because the managed device resources
are released later when calling free_netdev().

Also removing devm_free_irq() call from macb_remove() for the same reason.

The NBMA GRE tunnels temporarily push GRE header that contain the
per-packet NBMA destination on the skb via header ops early in xmit
path. It is the later pulled before the real GRE header is constructed.

The inner mac was thus set differently in nbma case: the GRE header
has been pushed by neighbor layer, and mac header points to beginning
of the temporary gre header (set by dev_queue_xmit).

Now that the offloads expect mac header to point to the gre payload,
fix the xmit patch to:
 - pull first the temporary gre header away
 - and reset mac header to point to gre payload

This fixes tso to work again with nbma tunnels.

Pull take two of the GPIO updates:
 "Same stuff as last time, now with a fixup patch for the previous
  compile error plus I ran a few extra rounds of compile-testing.

  This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:

   - A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the time.  This
     is implemented for the new descriptor-based API only and makes it
     possible to e.g. toggle a clock and data line at the same time, if
     the hardware can do this with a single register write.  Both
     consumers and drivers need new calls, and the core will fall back
     to driving individual lines where needed.  Implemented for the
     MPC8xxx driver initially

   - Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver that drives
     modems to use the new multiple-setting API to set several signals
     simultaneously

   - Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead allocate
     descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain GPIO chip.  This
     moves us closer to getting rid of the limitation of using the
     global, static GPIO numberspace

   - New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs

   - New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid

   - Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794

There are actually two issues this patch addresses. Let me start with
the one I tried to solve in the beginning.

So, in the checkpoint-restore project (criu) we try to dump tasks'
state and restore one back exactly as it was. One of the tasks' state
bits is rings set up with io_setup() call. There's (almost) no problems
in dumping them, there's a problem restoring them -- if I dump a task
with aio ring originally mapped at address A, I want to restore one
back at exactly the same address A. Unfortunately, the io_setup() does
not allow for that -- it mmaps the ring at whatever place mm finds
appropriate (it calls do_mmap_pgoff() with zero address and without
the MAP_FIXED flag).

To make restore possible I'm going to mremap() the freshly created ring
into the address A (under which it was seen before dump). The problem is
that the ring's virtual address is passed back to the user-space as the
context ID and this ID is then used as search key by all the other io_foo()
calls. Reworking this ID to be just some integer doesn't seem to work, as
this value is already used by libaio as a pointer using which this library
accesses memory for aio meta-data.

So, to make restore work we need to make sure that

a) ring is mapped at desired virtual address
b) kioctx->user_id matches this value

Having said that, the patch makes mremap() on aio region update the
kioctx's user_id and mmap_base values.

Here appears the 2nd issue I mentioned in the beginning of this mail.
If (regardless of the C/R dances I do) someone creates an io context
with io_setup(), then mremap()-s the ring and then destroys the context,
the kill_ioctx() routine will call munmap() on wrong (old) address.
This will result in a) aio ring remaining in memory and b) some other
vma get unexpectedly unmapped.

What do you think?

Pull block driver core update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19.  Not
  a huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes:

   - Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
     dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API.  From Arianna
     Avanzini.

   - Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:

        - A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
          handling.

        - Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.

        - Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
          requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.

        - A few tag and request handling updates from me.

        - Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.

        - Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.

        - Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
          location, from Shaohua.

        - Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
          prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
          weren't online when a queue was registered.

   - Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun.  Queued with
     the core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.

   - Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
     Maurizio.  Hope the Xth time is the charm.

   - Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.

   - Introduce (and use) generic IO stat accounting helpers for non-rq
     drivers, from Gu Zheng.

   - Kill off artificial limiting of max sectors in a request from
     Christoph"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Here's two fixes:

  1) Discovered by Fengguang Wu's tests.  I changed the parameters to
     the function graph x86 prepare_ftrace_return call but forgot to
     update the call from entry_32 (i386 version).  This patch corrects
     that.

  2) I was tracing some code and found that the sched_switch tracepoint
     was showing tasks in the INTERRUPTIBLE state as RUNNING.  This was
     due to the updates to convert preempt_count into a per_cpu
     variable.  The tracepoint logic was made to use the tasks
     saved_preempt_count which could hold a stale "PREEMPT_ACTIVE",
     instead of using the current preempt_count() call"

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
 "Two small patches from the audit next branch; only one of which has
  any real significant code changes, the other is simply a MAINTAINERS
  update for audit.

  The single code patch is pretty small and rather straightforward, it
  changes the audit "version" number reported to userspace from an
  integer to a bitmap which is used to indicate the functionality of the
  running kernel.  This really doesn't have much impact on the kernel,
  but it will make life easier for the audit userspace folks.

  Thankfully we were still on a version number which allowed us to do
  this without breaking userspace"
