Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS for 4.5 plus some 4.4 fixes.

  The executive summary:

   - ATH79 platform improvments, use DT bindings for the ATH79 USB PHY.
   - Avoid useless rebuilds for zboot.
   - jz4780: Add NEMC, BCH and NAND device tree nodes
   - Initial support for the MicroChip's DT platform.  As all the device
     drivers are missing this is still of limited use.
   - Some Loongson3 cleanups.
   - The unavoidable whitespace polishing.
   - Reduce clock skew when synchronizing the CPU cycle counters on CPU
     startup.
   - Add MIPS R6 fixes.
   - Lots of cleanups across arch/mips as fallout from KVM.
   - Lots of minor fixes and changes for IEEE 754-2008 support to the
     FPU emulator / fp-assist software.
   - Minor Ralink, BCM47xx and bcm963xx platform support improvments.
   - Support SMP on BCM63168"

+	ieee754=	[MIPS] Select IEEE Std 754 conformance mode
+			Format: { strict | legacy | 2008 | relaxed }
+			Default: strict
+
+			Choose which programs will be accepted for execution
+			based on the IEEE 754 NaN encoding(s) supported by
+			the FPU and the NaN encoding requested with the value
+			of an ELF file header flag individually set by each
+			binary.  Hardware implementations are permitted to
+			support either or both of the legacy and the 2008 NaN
+			encoding mode.
+
+			Available settings are as follows:
+			strict	accept binaries that request a NaN encoding
+				supported by the FPU
+			legacy	only accept legacy-NaN binaries, if supported
+				by the FPU
+			2008	only accept 2008-NaN binaries, if supported
+				by the FPU
+			relaxed	accept any binaries regardless of whether
+				supported by the FPU
+
+			The FPU emulator is always able to support both NaN
+			encodings, so if no FPU hardware is present or it has
+			been disabled with 'nofpu', then the settings of
+			'legacy' and '2008' strap the emulator accordingly,
+			'relaxed' straps the emulator for both legacy-NaN and
+			2008-NaN, whereas 'strict' enables legacy-NaN only on
+			legacy processors and both NaN encodings on MIPS32 or
+			MIPS64 CPUs.
+
+			The setting for ABS.fmt/NEG.fmt instruction execution
+			mode generally follows that for the NaN encoding,
+			except where unsupported by hardware.

 	ignore_loglevel	[KNL]
 			Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/
