Merge tag 'arm-scpi-for-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sudeep.holla/linux into next/drivers
Merge "ARM System Control and Power Interface(SCPI) support" from Sudeep Holla It adds support for the following features provided by SCP firmware using different subsystems in Linux: 1. SCPI mailbox protocol driver which using mailbox framework 2. Clocks provided by SCP using clock framework 3. CPU DVFS(cpufreq) using existing arm-big-little driver 4.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for SoC's based on the ARM
+System Control Processor (SCP) implementing the System Control
+Processor Interface (SCPI). The following sensor types are supported
+by the SCP -
+
+ * temperature
+ * voltage
+ * current
+ * power
+
+The SCP interface provides an API to query the available sensors and
+their values which are then exported to userspace by this driver.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+The driver relies on device tree node to indicate the presence of SCPI
+support in the kernel. See
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/arm,scpi.txt for details of the
+devicetree node. \ No newline at end of file
