Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm
Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Another mixture of changes this time around:
- Split XIP linker file from main linker file to make it more
maintainable, and various XIP fixes, and clean up a resulting
macro.
- Decompressor cleanups from Masahiro Yamada
- Avoid printing an error for a missing L2 cache
- Remove some duplicated symbols in System.map, and move
vectors/stubs back into kernel VMA
- Various low priority fixes from Arnd
- Updates to allow bus match functions to return negative errno
values, touching some drivers and the driver core. Greg has acked
these changes.
- Virtualisation platform udpates form Jean-Philippe Brucker.
- Security enhancements from Kees Cook
- Rework some Kconfig dependencies and move PSCI idle management code
out of arch/arm into drivers/firmware/psci.c
- ARM DMA mapping updates, touching media, acked by Mauro.
- Fix places in ARM code which should be using virt_to_idmap() so
that Keystone2 can work.
- Fix Marvell Tauros2 to work again with non-DT boots.
- Provide a delay timer for ARM Orion platforms"
