The DLL(Delay Line) is newly added to assist in sampling read data.
The DLL provides the ability to programmatically select a quantized
delay (in fractions of the clock period) regardless of on-chip variations
such as process, voltage and temperature (PVT).
This patch adds a user interface to set slave delay line via device tree.
It's usually used in high speed mode like mmc DDR mode when the signal
quality is not good caused by board design, e.g. the signal path is too
long. User can manually set delay line to find a suitable data sampling
window for card to work properly.

net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization
of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the
initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise
it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy
extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true
if the key got initialized.
The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so
it needs some further explanation why this actually works:
=== In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have ===
no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with
STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of
the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is
initialized like this:
___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) }
The check
if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \
expands into (pseudo code)
if (!likely(___done_key > 0))
, so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the
helper function.
=== If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends ===
on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in
jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden
and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called
before that!
At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of
net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we
need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs):
71: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
76: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to
call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above.
arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and
actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction
stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we
initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site
will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks
like this:
if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \
___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \
expands to
if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key)) \
___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \
So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called
on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path.
static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized
with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the
branch is replaced with a nop again.
=== Misc: ===
The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't
have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean
(___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before
the increment happend.

Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used
before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init
reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could
have unforeseen consequences.
Following primitives are now checked for correct use:
* static_key_slow_inc
* static_key_slow_dec
* static_key_slow_dec_deferred
* jump_label_rate_limit
The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop
was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It
will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this.
Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to
transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures
did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the
static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner.
All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check
does no harm to performance.
The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk.

xhci: Final patches for 3.13
Hi Greg,
Here's my pull request for usb-next and 3.13. My xHCI tree is closed
after this point, since I won't be able to run my full tests while I'm in
Scotland. After Kernel Summit, I'll be on vacation with access to email
from Oct 26th to Nov 6th.
Here's what's in this request:
- Patches to fix USB 2.0 Link PM issues that cause USB 3.0 devices to not
enumerate or misbehave when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. Those are
marked for stable.
- A msec vs jiffies bug fix by xiao jin, which results in fairly harmless
behavior, and thus isn't marked for stable.
- Xenia's patches to refactor the xHCI command handling code, which makes
it much more readable and consistent.
- Misc cleanup patches, one by Sachin Kamat and three from Dan Williams.
Here's what's not in this request:
- Dan's two patches to allow the xHCI host to use the "Windows" or "new"
enumeration scheme. I did not have time to test those, and I want to
run them with as many USB devices as I can get a hold of. That will
have to wait for 3.14.
- Xenia's patches to remove xhci_readl in favor of readl. I'll queue
those for 3.14 after I test them.
- The xHCI streams update, UAS fixes, and usbfs streams support. I'm not
comfortable with changes and fixes to that patchset coming in this late.
I would rather wait for 3.14 and be really sure the streams support is
stable before we add new userspace API and remove CONFIG_BROKEN from the
uas driver.
- Julius' patch to clear the port reset bit on hub resume that came in
a couple days ago. It looks harmless, but I would rather take the time
to test and queue it for usb-linus and the stable trees once 3.13-rc1
is out.

Currently each platform making use the the generic dmaengine PCM driver still
needs to provide a custom snd_pcm_hardware struct which specifies the
capabilities of the DMA controller, e.g. the maximum period size that can be
supported. This patch adds code which uses the newly introduced
dma_get_slave_caps() API to query this information from the dmaengine driver.
The new code path will only be taken if the 'pcm_hardware' field of the
snd_dmaengine_pcm_config struct is NULL.
The patch also introduces a new 'fifo_size' field to the
snd_dmaengine_dai_dma_data struct which is used to initialize the
snd_pcm_hardware 'fifo_size' field and needs to be set by the DAI driver.
