Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/blackfin-2.6
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/blackfin-2.6: (60 commits)
Blackfin arch: make sure we include the fix for SPORT hysteresis when reprogramming clocks
Blackfin arch: Fix bogus str_ident check in gpio code
Blackfin arch: AD7879 Touchscreen driver
Blackfin arch: introducing bfin_addr_dcachable
Blackfin arch: fix a typo in comments
Blackfin arch: Remove useless head file
Blackfin arch: make sure L2 start and length are always defined (fixes building on BF542)
Blackfin arch: use the Blackfin on-chip ROM to do software reset when possible
Blackfin arch: update anomaly headers to match the latest sheet
Blackfin arch: bfin_reset() is an internal reboot function ... everyone should go through machine_restart()
Blackfin arch: print out error/warning if you are running on the incorrect CPU type
Blackfin arch: remove non-bf54x ifdef logic since this file is only compiled on bf54x parts
Blackfin arch: update board defconfigs
Blackfin arch: Add optional verbose debug
Blackfin arch: emulate a TTY over the EMUDAT/JTAG interface
Blackfin arch: have is_user_addr_valid() check for overflows (like when address is -1)
Blackfin arch: ptrace - fix off-by-one check on end of memory regions
Blackfin arch: Enable framebuffer support for the BF526-EZkit TFT LCD display
Blackfin arch: flash memory map and dm9000 resources updating
Blackfin arch: early prink code still use uart core console functions to parse and set configure option string
