These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sources
are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page. During the rebasing, the following patch collided: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85). Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the source already. Change-Id: I7f57a4081d9deaa0d9ccfc41a6c8daccdee3b769 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>

+Generic hwlock bindings
+=======================
+
+Generic bindings that are common to all the hwlock platform specific driver
+implementations.
+
+Please also look through the individual platform specific hwlock binding
+documentations for identifying any additional properties specific to that
+platform.
+
+hwlock providers:
+=================
+
+Required properties:
+- #hwlock-cells: Specifies the number of cells needed to represent a
+ specific lock.
+
+hwlock users:
+=============
+
+Consumers that require specific hwlock(s) should specify them using the
+property "hwlocks", and an optional "hwlock-names" property.
+
+Required properties:
+- hwlocks: List of phandle to a hwlock provider node and an
+ associated hwlock args specifier as indicated by
+ #hwlock-cells. The list can have just a single hwlock
+ or multiple hwlocks, with each hwlock represented by
+ a phandle and a corresponding args specifier.
+
+Optional properties:
+- hwlock-names: List of hwlock name strings defined in the same order
+ as the hwlocks, with one name per hwlock. Consumers can
+ use the hwlock-names to match and get a specific hwlock.
+
+
+1. Example of a node using a single specific hwlock:
+
+The following example has a node requesting a hwlock in the bank defined by
+the node hwlock1. hwlock1 is a hwlock provider with an argument specifier
+of length 1.
+
+ node {
+ ...
+ hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>;
+ ...
+ };
+
+2. Example of a node using multiple specific hwlocks:
+
+The following example has a node requesting two hwlocks, a hwlock within
+the hwlock device node 'hwlock1' with #hwlock-cells value of 1, and another
+hwlock within the hwlock device node 'hwlock2' with #hwlock-cells value of 2.
+
+ node {
+ ...
+ hwlocks = <&hwlock1 2>, <&hwlock2 0 3>;
+ ...
+ };
