Pull Char/Misc/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of char/misc/iio and other smaller driver
  subsystem updates for 6.14-rc1. Loads of different things in here this
  development cycle, highlights are:

   - ntsync "driver" to handle Windows locking types enabling Wine to
     work much better on many workloads (i.e. games). The driver
     framework was in 6.13, but now it's enabled and fully working
     properly. Should make many SteamOS users happy. Even comes with
     tests!

   - Large IIO driver updates and bugfixes

   - FPGA driver updates

   - Coresight driver updates

   - MHI driver updates

   - PPS driver updatesa

   - const bin_attribute reworking for many drivers

   - binder driver updates

   - smaller driver updates and fixes

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

+=======================
+Extcon Device Subsystem
+=======================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The Extcon (External Connector) subsystem provides a unified framework for
+managing external connectors in Linux systems. It allows drivers to report
+the state of external connectors and provides a standardized interface for
+userspace to query and monitor these states.
+
+Extcon is particularly useful in modern devices with multiple connectivity
+options, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It helps manage various
+types of connectors, including:
+
+1. USB connectors (e.g., USB-C, micro-USB)
+2. Charging ports (e.g., fast charging, wireless charging)
+3. Audio jacks (e.g., 3.5mm headphone jack)
+4. Video outputs (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort)
+5. Docking stations
+
+Real-world examples:
+
+1. Smartphone USB-C port:
+   A single USB-C port on a smartphone can serve multiple functions. Extcon
+   can manage the different states of this port, such as:
+   - USB data connection
+   - Charging (various types like fast charging, USB Power Delivery)
+   - Audio output (USB-C headphones)
+   - Video output (USB-C to HDMI adapter)
+
+2. Laptop docking station:
+   When a laptop is connected to a docking station, multiple connections are
+   made simultaneously. Extcon can handle the state changes for:
+   - Power delivery
+   - External displays
+   - USB hub connections
+   - Ethernet connectivity
+
+3. Wireless charging pad:
+   Extcon can manage the state of a wireless charging connection, allowing
+   the system to respond appropriately when a device is placed on or removed
+   from the charging pad.
+
+4. Smart TV HDMI ports:
+   In a smart TV, Extcon can manage multiple HDMI ports, detecting when
+   devices are connected or disconnected, and potentially identifying the
+   type of device (e.g., gaming console, set-top box, Blu-ray player).
+
+The Extcon framework simplifies the development of drivers for these complex
+scenarios by providing a standardized way to report and query connector
+states, handle mutually exclusive connections, and manage connector
+properties. This allows for more robust and flexible handling of external
+connections in modern devices.
+
+Key Components
+==============
+
+extcon_dev
+----------
+
+The core structure representing an Extcon device::
+
+    struct extcon_dev {
+        const char *name;
+        const unsigned int *supported_cable;
+        const u32 *mutually_exclusive;
+
+        /* Internal data */
+        struct device dev;
+        unsigned int id;
+        struct raw_notifier_head nh_all;
+        struct raw_notifier_head *nh;
+        struct list_head entry;
+        int max_supported;
+        spinlock_t lock;
+        u32 state;
+
+        /* Sysfs related */
+        struct device_type extcon_dev_type;
+        struct extcon_cable *cables;
+        struct attribute_group attr_g_muex;
+        struct attribute **attrs_muex;
+        struct device_attribute *d_attrs_muex;
+    };
+
+Key fields:
+
+- ``name``: Name of the Extcon device
+- ``supported_cable``: Array of supported cable types
+- ``mutually_exclusive``: Array defining mutually exclusive cable types
+  This field is crucial for enforcing hardware constraints. It's an array of
+  32-bit unsigned integers, where each element represents a set of mutually
+  exclusive cable types. The array should be terminated with a 0.
+
+  For example:
+
+  ::
+
+      static const u32 mutually_exclusive[] = {
+          BIT(0) | BIT(1),  /* Cable 0 and 1 are mutually exclusive */
+          BIT(2) | BIT(3) | BIT(4),  /* Cables 2, 3, and 4 are mutually exclusive */
+          0  /* Terminator */
+      };
+
+  In this example, cables 0 and 1 cannot be connected simultaneously, and
+  cables 2, 3, and 4 are also mutually exclusive. This is useful for
+  scenarios like a single port that can either be USB or HDMI, but not both
+  at the same time.
+
+  The Extcon core uses this information to prevent invalid combinations of
+  cable states, ensuring that the reported states are always consistent
+  with the hardware capabilities.
+
+- ``state``: Current state of the device (bitmap of connected cables)
+
+
+extcon_cable
+------------
+
+Represents an individual cable managed by an Extcon device::
+
+    struct extcon_cable {
+        struct extcon_dev *edev;
+        int cable_index;
+        struct attribute_group attr_g;
+        struct device_attribute attr_name;
+        struct device_attribute attr_state;
+        struct attribute *attrs[3];
+        union extcon_property_value usb_propval[EXTCON_PROP_USB_CNT];
+        union extcon_property_value chg_propval[EXTCON_PROP_CHG_CNT];
+        union extcon_property_value jack_propval[EXTCON_PROP_JACK_CNT];
+        union extcon_property_value disp_propval[EXTCON_PROP_DISP_CNT];
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(usb_bits, EXTCON_PROP_USB_CNT);
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(chg_bits, EXTCON_PROP_CHG_CNT);
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(jack_bits, EXTCON_PROP_JACK_CNT);
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(disp_bits, EXTCON_PROP_DISP_CNT);
+    };

+- Defining supported cable types (USB and USB Host in this case).
+- Allocating and registering an extcon device.
+- Setting an initial state for a cable (USB connected in this example).
+- Clearing the state when the driver is removed.

@@ -202,6 +202,46 @@ Sometimes one needs to be able not only to catch PPS signals but to produce
 them also. For example, running a distributed simulation, which requires
 computers' clock to be synchronized very tightly.
 
+To do so the class pps-gen has been added. PPS generators can be
+registered in the kernel by defining a struct pps_gen_source_info as
+follows::
+
+    static struct pps_gen_source_info pps_gen_dummy_info = {
+            .name                   = "dummy",
+            .use_system_clock       = true,
+            .get_time               = pps_gen_dummy_get_time,
+            .enable                 = pps_gen_dummy_enable,
+    };
+
+Where the use_system_clock states if the generator uses the system
+clock to generate its pulses, or they are from a peripheral device
+clock. Method get_time() is used to query the time stored into the
+generator clock, while the method enable() is used to enable or
+disable the PPS pulse generation.
+
+Then calling the function pps_gen_register_source() in your
+initialization routine as follows creates a new generator in the
+system::
+
+    pps_gen = pps_gen_register_source(&pps_gen_dummy_info);
+
+Generators SYSFS support
+------------------------
+
+If the SYSFS filesystem is enabled in the kernel it provides a new class::
+
+    $ ls /sys/class/pps-gen/
+    pps-gen0/  pps-gen1/  pps-gen2/
+
+Every directory is the ID of a PPS generator defined in the system and
+inside of it you find several files::
+
+    $ ls -F /sys/class/pps-gen/pps-gen0/
+    dev  enable  name  power/  subsystem@  system  time  uevent
+
+To enable the PPS signal generation you can use the command below::
+
+    $ echo 1 > /sys/class/pps-gen/pps-gen0/enable
