Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus
Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle: "This is the main pull request for MIPS for 4.5 plus some 4.4 fixes. The executive summary: - ATH79 platform improvments, use DT bindings for the ATH79 USB PHY. - Avoid useless rebuilds for zboot. - jz4780: Add NEMC, BCH and NAND device tree nodes - Initial support for the MicroChip's DT platform. As all the device drivers are missing this is still of limited use. - Some Loongson3 cleanups. - The unavoidable whitespace polishing. - Reduce clock skew when synchronizing the CPU cycle counters on CPU startup. - Add MIPS R6 fixes. - Lots of cleanups across arch/mips as fallout from KVM. - Lots of minor fixes and changes for IEEE 754-2008 support to the FPU emulator / fp-assist software. - Minor Ralink, BCM47xx and bcm963xx platform support improvments. - Support SMP on BCM63168" * 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: (84 commits) MIPS: zboot: Add support for serial debug using the PROM MIPS: zboot: Avoid useless rebuilds MIPS: BMIPS: Enable ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB MIPS: bcm63xx: nvram: Remove unused bcm63xx_nvram_get_psi_size() function MIPS: bcm963xx: Update bcm_tag field image_sequence MIPS: bcm963xx: Move extended flash address to bcm_tag header file MIPS: bcm963xx: Move Broadcom BCM963xx image tag data structure MIPS: bcm63xx: nvram: Use nvram structure definition from header file MIPS: bcm963xx: Add Broadcom BCM963xx board nvram data structure MAINTAINERS: Add KVM for MIPS entry MIPS: KVM: Add missing newline to kvm_err() MIPS: Move KVM specific opcodes into asm/inst.h MIPS: KVM: Use cacheops.h definitions MIPS: Break down cacheops.h definitions MIPS: Use EXCCODE_ constants with set_except_vector() MIPS: Update trap codes MIPS: Move Cause.ExcCode trap codes to mipsregs.h MIPS: KVM: Make kvm_mips_{init,exit}() static MIPS: KVM: Refactor added offsetof()s MIPS: KVM: Convert EXPORT_SYMBOL to _GPL ...

idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states
+ ieee754= [MIPS] Select IEEE Std 754 conformance mode
+ Format: { strict | legacy | 2008 | relaxed }
+ Default: strict
+
+ Choose which programs will be accepted for execution
+ based on the IEEE 754 NaN encoding(s) supported by
+ the FPU and the NaN encoding requested with the value
+ of an ELF file header flag individually set by each
+ binary. Hardware implementations are permitted to
+ support either or both of the legacy and the 2008 NaN
+ encoding mode.
+
+ Available settings are as follows:
+ strict accept binaries that request a NaN encoding
+ supported by the FPU
+ legacy only accept legacy-NaN binaries, if supported
+ by the FPU
+ 2008 only accept 2008-NaN binaries, if supported
+ by the FPU
+ relaxed accept any binaries regardless of whether
+ supported by the FPU
+
+ The FPU emulator is always able to support both NaN
+ encodings, so if no FPU hardware is present or it has
+ been disabled with 'nofpu', then the settings of
+ 'legacy' and '2008' strap the emulator accordingly,
+ 'relaxed' straps the emulator for both legacy-NaN and
+ 2008-NaN, whereas 'strict' enables legacy-NaN only on
+ legacy processors and both NaN encodings on MIPS32 or
+ MIPS64 CPUs.
+
+ The setting for ABS.fmt/NEG.fmt instruction execution
+ mode generally follows that for the NaN encoding,
+ except where unsupported by hardware.

ignore_loglevel [KNL]
Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/
kernel messages to the console. Useful for debugging.
