This fixes a build failure with CONFIG_CACHE_L2X0=n:
arch/arm/mach-imx/built-in.o: In function `imx3_init_l2x0':
imx53-dt.c:(.init.text+0x190): undefined reference to `l2x0_init'
make[2]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2

When the l2 cache isn't enabled the quirk introduced in
9524705 (MX35: Fix bogus L2 cache settings) doesn't need to be done
either.

Omapdss driver changes for 3.5 merge window.
Lots of normal development commits, but perhaps most notable changes are:
* HDMI rework to properly decouple the HDMI audio part from the HDMI video part.
* Restructure omapdss core driver so that it's possible to implement device
tree support. This included changing how platform data is passed to the
drivers, changing display device registration and improving the panel driver's
ability to configure the underlying video output interface.
* Basic support for DSI packet interleaving

This makes <asm/word-at-a-time.h> actually live up to its promise of
allowing architectures to help tune the string functions that do their
work a word at a time.
David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified
it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically
useful. This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic
version, completing the circle.
But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that
it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty
much most random string functions.
David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported
that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too. It's pretty
easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their
private versions with the generic code.
* generic-string-functions:
sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function
x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function
lib: add generic strnlen_user() function
word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic
x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine

This changes the interfaces in <asm/word-at-a-time.h> to be a bit more
complicated, but a lot more generic.
In particular, it allows us to really do the operations efficiently on
both little-endian and big-endian machines, pretty much regardless of
machine details. For example, if you can rely on a fast population
count instruction on your architecture, this will allow you to make your
optimized <asm/word-at-a-time.h> file with that.
NOTE! The "generic" version in include/asm-generic/word-at-a-time.h is
not truly generic, it actually only works on big-endian. Why? Because
on little-endian the generic algorithms are wasteful, since you can
inevitably do better. The x86 implementation is an example of that.
(The only truly non-generic part of the asm-generic implementation is
the "find_zero()" function, and you could make a little-endian version
of it. And if the Kbuild infrastructure allowed us to pick a particular
header file, that would be lovely)
The <asm/word-at-a-time.h> functions are as follows:
- WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS: specific constants that the algorithm
uses.
- has_zero(): take a word, and determine if it has a zero byte in it.
It gets the word, the pointer to the constant pool, and a pointer to
an intermediate "data" field it can set.
This is the "quick-and-dirty" zero tester: it's what is run inside
the hot loops.
- "prep_zero_mask()": take the word, the data that has_zero() produced,
and the constant pool, and generate an *exact* mask of which byte had
the first zero. This is run directly *outside* the loop, and allows
the "has_zero()" function to answer the "is there a zero byte"
question without necessarily getting exactly *which* byte is the
first one to contain a zero.
If you do multiple byte lookups concurrently (eg "hash_name()", which
looks for both NUL and '/' bytes), after you've done the prep_zero_mask()
phase, the result of those can be or'ed together to get the "either
or" case.
- The result from "prep_zero_mask()" can then be fed into "find_zero()"
(to find the byte offset of the first byte that was zero) or into
"zero_bytemask()" (to find the bytemask of the bytes preceding the
zero byte).
The existence of zero_bytemask() is optional, and is not necessary
for the normal string routines. But dentry name hashing needs it, so
if you enable DENTRY_WORD_AT_A_TIME you need to expose it.
This changes the generic strncpy_from_user() function and the dentry
hashing functions to use these modified word-at-a-time interfaces. This
gets us back to the optimized state of the x86 strncpy that we lost in
the previous commit when moving over to the generic version.

The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian. And on
little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
don't care about).
But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
the little-endian optimizations. But before we do that, switch over to
the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
thing.

Pull tile updates from Chris Metcalf:
"These changes cover a range of new arch/tile features and
optimizations. They've been through LKML review and on linux-next for
a month or so. There's also one bug-fix that just missed 3.4, which
I've marked for stable."
Fixed up trivial conflict in arch/tile/Kconfig (new added tile Kconfig
entries clashing with the generic timer/clockevents changes).
* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
tile: default to tilegx_defconfig for ARCH=tile
tile: fix bug where fls(0) was not returning 0
arch/tile: mark TILEGX as not EXPERIMENTAL
tile/mm/fault.c: Port OOM changes to handle_page_fault
arch/tile: add descriptive text if the kernel reports a bad trap
arch/tile: allow querying cpu module information from the hypervisor
arch/tile: fix hardwall for tilegx and generalize for idn and ipi
arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamically
mm: add new arch_make_huge_pte() method for tile support
arch/tile: support kexec() for tilegx
arch/tile: support <asm/cachectl.h> header for cacheflush() syscall
arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size
arch/tile: optimize get_user/put_user and friends
arch/tile: support building big-endian kernel
arch/tile: allow building Linux with transparent huge pages enabled
arch/tile: use interrupt critical sections less
