Merge tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linuxgrafted
Pull I3C updates from Alexandre Belloni: "A new driver this cycle, for the AMD AXI I3C controller. There are also new features such as IBI wakeup support, SETAASA device discovery and ACPI support for the the DAA methods, meaning we can now communicate with the SPD devices on DDR5 modules. New driver: - AMD AXI I3C master controller Subsystem: - I3C Common Command Code (CCC) handling improvements, especially around GET CCCs - SETAASA device discovery support - ACPI support for all existing DAA methods like SETDASA, SETNEWDA as well as I2C devices on I3C bus - IBI-based wakeup support Drivers: - dw: SETAASA support - mipi-i3c-hci: advertise IBI wakeup capability, AMD_PT I3C controller support, PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 - renesas: improve suspend to RAM support, add runtime PM support" * tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linux: (70 commits) i3c: dw: reduce do_daa time if there's no client i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add support for AMD_PT I3C controller i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix missing STAT_IBI_STATUS_THLD in PIO mode i3c: dw: rename "pclk" to "apb" to match dt-binding i3c: dw: make struct dw_i3c_cmd smaller i3c: dw: use COMMAND_PORT_TRANSFER_ARG instead of hardcoding i3c: renesas: Don't register devices when ENTDAA times out i3c: master: dw-i3c-master: fix OD timing for first broadcast i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Advertise IBI wakeup capability i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Factor out i3c_hci_sysdev() i3c: mipi-i3c-hci-pci: Propagate I3C wakeup requirements to PCI i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices i3c: master: Add helper to query bus wakeup requirements i3c: master: Report wakeup events for IBIs i3c: master: Support IBI-based wakeup capability i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_match() i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_uevent() i3c: Make dev->desc locking assumptions explicit i3c: master: Fix use-after-free of master->this ...

+What: /sys/firmware/secvar
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: This directory is created if the POWER firmware supports OS
+ secureboot, thereby secure variables. It exposes interface
+ for reading/writing the secure variables
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: This directory lists all the secure variables that are supported
+ by the firmware.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/format
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: A string indicating which backend is in use by the firmware.
+ This determines the format of the variable and the accepted
+ format of variable updates.
+
+ On powernv/OPAL, this value is provided by the OPAL firmware
+ and is expected to be "ibm,edk2-compat-v1".
+
+ On pseries/PLPKS, this is generated by the kernel based on the
+ version number in the SB_VERSION variable in the keystore. The
+ version numbering in the SB_VERSION variable starts from 1. The
+ format string takes the form "ibm,plpks-sb-v<version>" in the
+ case of dynamic key management mode. If the SB_VERSION variable
+ does not exist (or there is an error while reading it), it takes
+ the form "ibm,plpks-sb-v0", indicating that the key management
+ mode is static.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable name>
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: Each secure variable is represented as a directory named as
+ <variable_name>. The variable name is unique and is in ASCII
+ representation. The data and size can be determined by reading
+ their respective attribute files.
+
+ Only secvars relevant to the key management mode are exposed.
+ Only in the dynamic key management mode should the user have
+ access (read and write) to the secure boot secvars db, dbx,
+ grubdb, grubdbx, and sbat. These secvars are not consumed in the
+ static key management mode. PK, trustedcadb and moduledb are the
+ secvars common to both static and dynamic key management modes.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/size
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: An integer representation of the size of the content of the
+ variable. In other words, it represents the size of the data.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/data
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: A read-only file containing the value of the variable. The size
+ of the file represents the maximum size of the variable data.
+
+What: /sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/update
+Date: August 2019
+Contact: Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description: A write-only file that is used to submit the new value for the
+ variable. The size of the file represents the maximum size of
+ the variable data that can be written.
