Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile
Pull arch/tile fix from Chris Metcalf: "This change allows newer Tilera boot tools to work correctly with current (and stable) kernels by using the right filename to get the initramfs from the Tilera hypervisor filesystem." * 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: tile: expect new initramfs name from hypervisor file system
