Merge tag 'devicetree-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux
Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring: - Sync dtc to upstream version v1.4.6-9-gaadd0b65c987. This adds a bunch more warnings (hidden behind W=1). - Build dtc lexer and parser files instead of using shipped versions. - Rework overlay apply API to take an FDT as input and apply overlays in a single step. - Add a phandle lookup cache. This improves boot time by hundreds of msec on systems with large DT. - Add trivial mcp4017/18/19 potentiometers bindings. - Remove VLA stack usage in DT code. * tag 'devicetree-for-4.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux: (26 commits) of: unittest: fix an error code in of_unittest_apply_overlay() of: unittest: move misplaced function declaration of: unittest: Remove VLA stack usage of: overlay: Fix forgotten reference to of_overlay_apply() of: Documentation: Fix forgotten reference to of_overlay_apply() of: unittest: local return value variable related cleanups of: unittest: remove unneeded local return value variables dt-bindings: trivial: add various mcp4017/18/19 potentiometers of: unittest: fix an error test in of_unittest_overlay_8() of: cache phandle nodes to reduce cost of of_find_node_by_phandle() dt-bindings: rockchip-dw-mshc: use consistent clock names MAINTAINERS: Add linux/of_*.h headers to appropriate subsystems scripts: turn off some new dtc warnings by default scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.4.6-9-gaadd0b65c987 scripts/dtc: generate lexer and parser during build instead of shipping powerpc: boot: add strrchr function of: overlay: do not include path in full_name of added nodes of: unittest: clean up changeset test arm64/efi: Make strrchr() available to the EFI namespace ARM: boot: add strrchr function ...
