Hi Jisheng

On a sama5d31 with a Full-HD dual LVDS panel (132MHz pixel clock) NAND
flash accesses have a tendency to cause display disturbances. Add a
module param to disable DMA from the NAND controller, since that fixes
the display problem for me.

Hello!
When using Xen PV DRM frontend driver then on backend side one will need
to do copying of display buffers' contents (filled by the
frontend's user-space) into buffers allocated at the backend side.
Taking into account the size of display buffers and frames pe
From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko
Introduce Xen zero-copy helper DRM driver, add user-space API of the driver:
1. DRM_IOCTL_XEN_ZCOPY_DUMB_FROM_REFS
This will create a DRM dumb buffer from grant references provided
by the frontend. The intended usage is:
- Frontend
- creates a dumb/display buff

Hi Dave,
here's a pull request to net-next for 4.17. If the merge window starts

wireless-drivers into wireless-drivers-next as iwlwifi needed some

Please let me know if you have any problems.

The commit b35cd9884fa5 ("lib: Add shared copies of some GCC library
routines") makes it possible to share generic GCC library routines by
several architectures.
This commit removes several generic GCC library routines from
arch/mips/lib/ in favour of similar routines from li
When these are included into arch Kconfig files, maintaining
alphabetical ordering of the selects means these get split up. To allow
