Merge tag 'for-v4.6-rc/omap-fixes-a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pjw/omap-pending into omap-for-v4.6/fixes
ARM: OMAP2+: first hwmod fix for v4.6-rc Fix a longstanding bug in the hwmod code that could cause hardware SYSCONFIG register values to not match the kernel's idea of what they should be, and that could result in lower performance during IP block idle entry. Basic build, boot, and PM test logs are available here: http://www.pwsan.com/omap/testlogs/omap-hwmod-fixes-a-for-v4.6-rc/20160326231727/

+ * Define and initialize a srcu struct at build time.
+ * Do -not- call init_srcu_struct() nor cleanup_srcu_struct() on it.
+ *
+ * Note that although DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() hides the name from other
+ * files, the per-CPU variable rules nevertheless require that the
+ * chosen name be globally unique. These rules also prohibit use of
+ * DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() within a function. If these rules are too
+ * restrictive, declare the srcu_struct manually. For example, in
+ * each file:
+ *
+ * static struct srcu_struct my_srcu;
+ *
+ * Then, before the first use of each my_srcu, manually initialize it:
+ *
+ * init_srcu_struct(&my_srcu);
+ *
+ * See include/linux/percpu-defs.h for the rules on per-CPU variables.
