Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This release brings up a new platform based on the old ARM9 core: the
  Nuvoton NPCM is used as a baseboard management controller, competing
  with the better known ASpeed AST2xx series.

  Another important change is the addition of ARMv7-A based chips in
  mach-stm32. The older parts in this platform are ARMv7-M based
  microcontrollers, now they are expanding to general-purpose workloads.

  The other changes are the usual defconfig updates to enable additional
  drivers, lesser bugfixes. The largest updates as often are the ongoing
  OMAP cleanups, but we also have a number of changes for the older PXA
  and davinci platforms this time.

  For the Renesas shmobile/r-car platform, some new infrastructure is
  needed to make the watchdog work correctly.

  Supporting Multiprocessing on Allwinner A80 required a significant
  amount of new code, but is not doing anything unexpected"

+ARM Microchip SoCs (aka AT91)
+=============================
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+This document gives useful information about the ARM Microchip SoCs that are
+currently supported in Linux Mainline (you know, the one on kernel.org).
+
+It is important to note that the Microchip (previously Atmel) ARM-based MPU
+product line is historically named "AT91" or "at91" throughout the Linux kernel
+development process even if this product prefix has completely disappeared from
+the official Microchip product name. Anyway, files, directories, git trees,
+git branches/tags and email subject always contain this "at91" sub-string.
+
+
+AT91 SoCs
+---------
+Documentation and detailed datasheet for each product are available on
+the Microchip website: http://www.microchip.com.

+Linux kernel information
+------------------------
+Linux kernel mach directory: arch/arm/mach-at91
+MAINTAINERS entry is: "ARM/Microchip (AT91) SoC support"
+
+
+Device Tree for AT91 SoCs and boards
+------------------------------------
+All AT91 SoCs are converted to Device Tree. Since Linux 3.19, these products
+must use this method to boot the Linux kernel.
+
+Work In Progress statement:
+Device Tree files and Device Tree bindings that apply to AT91 SoCs and boards are
+considered as "Unstable". To be completely clear, any at91 binding can change at
+any time. So, be sure to use a Device Tree Binary and a Kernel Image generated from
+the same source tree.
+Please refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ABI.txt file for a
+definition of a "Stable" binding/ABI.
+This statement will be removed by AT91 MAINTAINERS when appropriate.
+
+Naming conventions and best practice:
+- SoCs Device Tree Source Include files are named after the official name of
+  the product (at91sam9g20.dtsi or sama5d33.dtsi for instance).
+- Device Tree Source Include files (.dtsi) are used to collect common nodes that can be
+  shared across SoCs or boards (sama5d3.dtsi or at91sam9x5cm.dtsi for instance).
+  When collecting nodes for a particular peripheral or topic, the identifier have to
+  be placed at the end of the file name, separated with a "_" (at91sam9x5_can.dtsi
+  or sama5d3_gmac.dtsi for example).
+- board Device Tree Source files (.dts) are prefixed by the string "at91-" so
+  that they can be identified easily. Note that some files are historical exceptions
+  to this rule (sama5d3[13456]ek.dts, usb_a9g20.dts or animeo_ip.dts for example).
