Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1.
We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing,
but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed
overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver.
Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place,
well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details.
The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code
out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that
has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of
millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the
userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change
due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many
devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as
well promote it out of staging.
This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone
participating agreed that this was the best way forward.
There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new
that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of
that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and
Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version.
As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing
it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS
entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google
developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I
checked they were, which was good.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no
reported issues.

Fixing 80 character limit warnings in octeon/ethernet-rx.c
Signed-off-by: Luis de Bethencourt <luis@debethencourt.com>
Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Octeon Ethernet driver is currently trying to wake up multiple
CPU cores for parallel NAPI processing when needed, to cope
with the fact that all network interfaces are handled through
the same receive queue processed by a single core/interrupt
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137209784914565&w=2).
This partially overlaps with generic RPS functionality.
Commit a6a39a7fcf ("staging: octeon-ethernet: disable load balance
for receiving packet when CONFIG_RPS is enabled") already disabled this
when RPS is enabled. Let's delete this code altogether as it has issues
like packet reordering and potential problems with CPU offlining/onlining.
Tested on EdgeRouter Lite.

It's better disable load balance for receiving packet when CONFIG_RPS is enabled.
If not, octeon-ethernet driver select CPU and then the rps select again CPU.
It can be ipi interrupts overhead and packet reordering could be possible.

This prevents PHY not found types of errors for PHY drivers that are
probed after the Ethernet driver is probed, because the ifconfig UP is
done from userspace after all drivers have been probed.
Also avoid the cvmx-helper-board.c PHY code if a real PHY driver is
present, this allows a bootloader supplied device tree to specify the
PHY information rather than having to modify the code for each
different board.

Currently the driver assumes that CPU 0 is handling all the hard IRQs.
This is wrong in Linux SMP systems where user is allowed to assign to
hardware IRQs to any CPU. The driver will stop working if user sets
smp_affinity so that interrupts end up being handled by other than CPU
0. The patch fixes that.
