Linus Torvalds 8578953687 MIPS changes for 4.16
These are the main MIPS changes for 4.16. Rough overview:
  - Basic support for the Ingenic JZ4770 based GCW Zero open-source
    handheld video game console
  - Support for the Ranchu board (used by Android emulator)
  - Various cleanups and misc improvements
 
 Fixes:
  - Fix generic platform's USB_*HCI_BIG_ENDIAN selects (4.9)
  - Fix vmlinuz default build when ZBOOT selected
  - Fix clean up of vmlinuz targets
  - Fix command line duplication (in preparation for Ingenic JZ4770)
 
 Miscellaneous:
  - Allow Processor ID reads to be to be optimised away by the compiler
    (improves performance when running in guest)
  - Push ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO/PARPORT down to platform level to
    disable on generic platform with Ranchu board support
  - Add helpers for assembler macro instructions for older assemblers
  - Use assembler macro instructions to support VZ, XPA & MSA operations
    on older assemblers, removing C wrapper duplication
  - Various improvements to VZ & XPA assembly wrappers
  - Add drivers/platform/mips/ to MIPS MAINTAINERS entry
 
 Minor cleanups:
  - Misc FPU emulation cleanups (removal of unnecessary include, moving
    macros to common header, checkpatch and sparse fixes)
  - Remove duplicate assignment of core in play_dead()
  - Remove duplication in watchpoint handling
  - Remove mips_dma_mapping_error() stub
  - Use NULL instead of 0 in prepare_ftrace_return()
  - Use proper kernel-doc Return keyword for
    __compute_return_epc_for_insn()
  - Remove duplicate semicolon in csum_fold()
 
 Platform support:
 
 Broadcom:
  - Enable ZBOOT on BCM47xx
 
 Generic platform:
  - Add Ranchu board support, used by Android emulator
  - Fix machine compatible string matching for Ranchu
  - Support GIC in EIC mode
 
 Ingenic platforms:
  - Add DT, defconfig and other support for JZ4770 SoC and GCW Zero
  - Support dynamnic machine types (i.e. JZ4740 / JZ4770 / JZ4780)
  - Add Ingenic JZ4770 CGU clocks
  - General Ingenic clk changes to prepare for JZ4770 SoC support
  - Use common command line handling code
  - Add DT vendor prefix to GCW (Game Consoles Worldwide)
 
 Loongson:
  - Add MAINTAINERS entry for Loongson2 and Loongson3 platforms
  - Drop 32-bit support for Loongson 2E/2F devices
  - Fix build failures due to multiple use of "MEM_RESERVED"

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
