Linus Torvalds 74b9272bbe Merge tag 'devicetree-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux
Pull device tree updates from Grant Likely:
 "This branch contains the following changes:
   - Removal of CONFIG_OF_DEVICE, it is always enabled by CONFIG_OF
   - Remove #ifdef from linux/of_platform.h to increase compiler syntax
     coverage
   - Bug fix for address decoding on Bimini and js2x powerpc platforms.
   - miscellaneous binding changes

  One note on the above.  The binding changes going in from all kinds of
  different trees has gotten rather out of hand.  I picked up some
  during this cycle, but even going though my tree isn't a great fit.

  Ian Campbell has prototyped splitting the bindings and .dtb files into
  a separate repository.  The plan is to migrate to using that sometime
  in the next few kernel releases which should get rid of a lot of the
  churn on binding docs and .dts files"

* tag 'devicetree-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux:
  of: Fix address decoding on Bimini and js2x machines
  of: remove CONFIG_OF_DEVICE
  usb: chipidea: depend on CONFIG_OF instead of CONFIG_OF_DEVICE
  of: remove of_platform_driver
  ibmebus: convert of_platform_driver to platform_driver
  driver core: move to_platform_driver to platform_device.h
  mfd: DT bindings for the palmas family MFD
  ARM: dts: omap3-devkit8000: fix NAND memory binding
  of/base: fix typos

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
