Merge tag 'staging-4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
Pull staging and IIO updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.9-rc1.
There are a lot of patches in here, the majority due to the drivers/staging/greybus/ subsystem being merged in with full development history that went back a few years, in order to preserve the work that those developers did over time.
Lots and lots of tiny cleanups happened in the tree as well, due to the Outreachy application process and lots of other developers showing up for the first time to clean code up. Along with those changes, we deleted a wireless driver, and added a raspberrypi driver (currently marked broken), and lots of new iio drivers.
Overall the tree still shrunk with more lines removed than added, about 10 thousand lines removed in total. Full details are in the very long shortlog below.
All of this has been in the linux-next tree with no issues. There will be some merge problems with other subsystem trees, but those are all minor problems and shouldn't be hard to work out when they happen (MAINTAINERS and some lustre build problems with the IB tree)"
And furter from me asking for clarification about greybus: "Right now there is a phone from Motorola shipping with this code (a slightly older version, but the same tree), so even though Ara is not alive in the same form, the functionality is happening. We are working with the developers of that phone to merge the newer stuff in with their fork so they can use the upstream version in future versions of their phone product line.
Toshiba has at least one chip shipping in their catalog that needs/uses this protocol over a Unipro link, and rumor has it that there might be more in the future.
There are also other users of the greybus protocols, there is a talk next week at ELC that shows how it is being used across a network connection to control a device, and previous ELC talks have showed the protocol stack being used over USB to drive embedded Linux boards. I've also talked to some people who are starting to work to add a host controller driver to control arduinos as the greybus PHY protocols are very useful to control a serial/i2c/spio/whatever device across a random physical link, as it is a way to have a self-describing device be attached to a host without needing manual configuration.
So yes, people are using it, and there is still the chance that it will show up in a phone/laptop/tablet/whatever from Google in the future as well, the tech isn't dead, even if the original large phone project happens to be"

Merge tag 'iio-for-4.9a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into work-testing
Jonathan writes:
First round of new features, device support and cleanups for IIO in the 4.9 cycle.
Device support
* ak8974 - New driver and bindings for this 2009 vintage magnetometer (it was very popular back then!) * atlas-ph-sensor - ORP sensor support(I had to look up what one of these was) * cio-dac - New driver for Measurement Computing DAC boards * dmard06 - New driver for Domintech DMARDO6 accelerometer. Also vendor prefix. * dmard09 - New driver for Domintech DMARD09 accelerometer. * maxim-thermocouple - max6675 and max31855 new driver * mt6577 auxdac - new driver for this Mediatek chip mt2701, mt6577 and mt8173 have this hardware. * ti-adc161s626 - new driver for this TI single channel differential ADC. * vcnl4000 - support vcnl4010 and vcnl4020 which are compatible for all features currently supported by this driver.
New features
* Core - Allow retrieving of underlying iio_dev from a callback buffer handle. This is needed to allow client drivers to perform operations such as configuring the trigger used. * hid-sensors - asynchronous resume support to avoid really long resume times. * kxcjk-1013 - add the mysterious KIOX000A ACPI id seen in the wild. * Tools - lsiio now enumerates processed as well as raw channels.
Cleanup
* ad7298 - use iio_device_claim_direct_mode and friends to simplify locking around mode switching and drop some boilerplate. * ad7793 - use iio_device_claim_direct_mode and friends to simplify locking around mode switching and drop some boilerplate. * ade7854 - checkpatch fixups (alignment of parameters) * atlas-ph-sensor - use iio_device_claim_direct_mode and friends to simplify locking around mode switching and drop some boilerplate. - Switch to REGCACHE_NONE as there are no useful register to cache. * bma180 - use iio_device_claim_direct_mode and friends to simplify locking around mode switching and drop some boilerplate. * hdc100x - Add mention of the HDC1000 and HDC1008 to the Kconfig help text. * isl29018 - Add driver specific prefixes to defines and function names. - Remove excessive logging. - Drop newlines which add nothing to readability. - General tidying up of comments. - Drop I2C_CLASS_HWMON as irrelevant to driver. * isl29028 - Add driver specific prefixes to defines, enums and function names. - Drop comma's from available attribute output as not ABI compliant. - Drop I2C_CLASS_HWMON as irrelevant to driver. * kxsd9 - devicetree bindings. * mag3110 - This one wasn't locking to protect against mode switches during raw_reads. Use the iio_claim_direct_mode function to fix this buglet. * maxim-theromcouple - Fix missing selects for triggered buffer support in Kconfig. * nau7802 - Use complete instead of complete_all as only one completion at a time. * sx9500 - Use complete instead of complete_all as only one completion at a time. * us5182d - Add a missing error code asignment instead of checking the result of an already checked statement. * vcnl4000 - Use BIT macro where appropriate. - Refactor return codes in read_raw callback. - Add some missing locking for concurrent accesses to the device.

iio: accel: add support for the Domintech DMARD09 3-axis accelerometer
Minimal implementation of an IIO driver for the Domintech DMARD09 3-axis accelerometer. Only supports reading the x,y,z axes at the moment.
Implementation based on the Android driver from the Acer Liquid E2 kernel sources.
