Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - clang assembly fixes from Ard

 - optimisations and cleanups for Aurora L2 cache support

 - efficient L2 cache support for secure monitor API on Exynos SoCs

 - debug menu cleanup from Daniel Thompson to allow better behaviour for
   multiplatform kernels

 - StrongARM SA11x0 conversion to irq domains, and pxa_timer

 - kprobes updates for older ARM CPUs

 - move probes support out of arch/arm/kernel to arch/arm/probes

 - add inline asm support for the rbit (reverse bits) instruction

 - provide an ARM mode secondary CPU entry point (for Qualcomm CPUs)

 - remove the unused ARMv3 user access code

 - add driver_override support to AMBA Primecell bus

What: /sys/bus/amba/devices/.../driver_override
Date: September 2014
Contact: Antonios Motakis <a.motakis@virtualopensystems.com>
Description:
This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
will override standard OF, ACPI, ID table, and name matching.
When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value
written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to
the device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
driver_override file (echo vfio-amba > driver_override) and may
be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
device from its current driver or make any attempt to
automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device will
not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to opt-out of
driver binding using a driver_override name such as "none".
Only a single driver may be specified in the override, there is
no support for parsing delimiters.
