Input: tsc2007 - read "ti,poll-period" as u32grafted
The "ti,poll-period" property is documented as a normal uint32 cell. The driver used a u64 helper, which makes the helper type disagree with the schema even though the stored value is still small. Read "ti,poll-period" with the u32 helper matching the documented DT cell size.

+=================================
+Linux Security Module Development
+=================================
+
+Based on https://lore.kernel.org/r/20071026073721.618b4778@laptopd505.fenrus.org,
+a new LSM is accepted into the kernel when its intent (a description of
+what it tries to protect against and in what cases one would expect to
+use it) has been appropriately documented in ``Documentation/admin-guide/LSM/``.
+This allows an LSM's code to be easily compared to its goals, and so
+that end users and distros can make a more informed decision about which
+LSMs suit their requirements.
+
+For extensive documentation on the available LSM hook interfaces, please
+see ``security/security.c`` and associated structures:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: security/security.c
