Linus Torvalds b79013b244 Staging driver patches for 4.1-rc1
Here's the big staging driver patchset for 4.1-rc1.
 
 There's a lot of patches here, the Outreachy application period happened
 during this development cycle, so that means that there was a lot of
 cleanup patches accepted.  Other than the normal coding style and sparse
 fixes here, there are some driver updates and work toward making some of
 the drivers into "mergable" shape (like the Unisys drivers.)
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while.

NVEC: An NVidia compliant Embedded Controller Protocol Implemenation

This is an implementation of the NVEC protocol used to communicate with an
embedded controller (EC) via I2C bus. The EC is an I2C master while the host
processor is the I2C slave. Requests from the host processor to the EC are
started by triggering a gpio line.

There is no written documentation of the protocol available to the public,
but the source code[1] of the published nvec reference drivers can be a guide.
This driver is currently only used by the AC100 project[2], but it is likely,
that other Tegra boards (not yet mainlined, if ever) also use it.
