    Merge branch 'i2c/for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux · 99bece77
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull i2c changes from Wolfram Sang:
    
     - an arbitration driver.  While the driver is quite simple, it caused
       discussion if we need additional arbitration on top of the one
       specified in the I2C standard.  Conclusion is that I accept a few
       generic mechanisms, but not very specific ones.
    
     - the core lost the detach_adapter() call.  It has no users anymore and
       was in the way for other cleanups.  attach_adapter() is sadly still
       there since there are users waiting to be converted.
    
     - the core gained a bus recovery infrastructure.  I2C defines a way to
       recover if the data line is stalled.  This mechanism is now in the
       core and drivers can now pass some data to make use of it.
    
     - bigger driver cleanups for designware, s3c2410
    
     - removing superfluous refcounting from drivers
    
     - removing Ben Dooks as second maintainer due to inactivity.  Thanks
       for all your work so far, Ben!
    
     - bugfixes, feature additions, devicetree fixups, simplifications...
