Merge tag 'for-linus-fwctl' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma

Pull fwctl subsystem from Jason Gunthorpe:
"fwctl is a new subsystem intended to bring some common rules and order
to the growing pattern of exposing a secure FW interface directly to
userspace.

Unlike existing places like RDMA/DRM/VFIO/uacce that are exposing a
device for datapath operations fwctl is focused on debugging,
configuration and provisioning of the device. It will not have the
necessary features like interrupt delivery to support a datapath.

This concept is similar to the long standing practice in the "HW" RAID
space of having a device specific misc device to manage the RAID
controller FW. fwctl generalizes this notion of a companion debug and
management interface that goes along with a dataplane implemented in
an appropriate subsystem.

There have been three LWN articles written discussing various aspects
of this:

https://lwn.net/Articles/955001/
https://lwn.net/Articles/969383/
https://lwn.net/Articles/990802/

This includes three drivers to launch the subsystem:

- CXL provides a vendor scheme for executing commands and a way to
learn the 'command effects' (ie the security properties) of such
commands. The fwctl driver allows access to these mechanism within
the fwctl security model

- mlx5 is family of networking products, the driver supports all
current Mellanox HW still receiving FW feature updates. This
includes RDMA multiprotocol NICs like ConnectX and the Bluefield
family of Smart NICs.

- AMD/Pensando Distributed Services card is a multi protocol Smart
NIC with a multi PCI function design. fwctl works on the management
PCI function following a 'command effects' model similar to CXL"

Merge branch 'for-6.15/amd_sfh' into for-linus

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

Some platforms include a human presence detection (HPD) sensor. When
enabled and a user is detected a wake event will be emitted from the
sensor fusion hub that software can react to.

Example use cases are "wake from suspend on approach" or to "lock
when leaving".

This is currently enabled by default on supported systems, but users
can't control it. This essentially means that wake on approach is
enabled which is a really surprising behavior to users that don't
expect it.

Instead of defaulting to enabled add a sysfs knob that users can
use to enable the feature if desirable and set it to disabled by
default.

Merge tag 'docs-6.15' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It has been a reasonably busy cycle for docs...

- Significant changes throughout the tree to bring Python code up to
current standards and raise the minimum Python required to 3.9

Much of this is preparatory to replacing the ancient Perl
scripts/kernel-doc horror with a slightly less horrifying Python
implementation, expected for 6.16

- Update the minimum Sphinx required to 3.4.3, allowing us to remove
a bunch of older compatibility code

- Rework and improve the generation of the ABI documentation

(All of the above done by Mauro)

- Lots of translation updates. Alex Shi and Yanteng Si are taking on
responsibility for the Chinese translations going forward; that
work will still get to you via docs-next

- Try to standardize the format for indicating a developer's
affiliation in commit tags

- Clarify the TAB's role in CoC enforcement actions

- Try to spell out the rules for when a commit tag can name another
developer without their explicit permission

Plus lots of other typo fixes and updates"

Documentation: dma-buf: heaps: Add heap name definitions

Following a recent discussion at last Plumbers, John Stultz, Sumit
Sewal, TJ Mercier and I came to an agreement that we should document
what the dma-buf heaps names are expected to be, and what the buffers
attributes you'll get should be documented.

Let's create that doc to make sure those attributes and names are
guaranteed going forward.

"Here is the "big" set of char/misc/iio and other smaller driver
subsystem updates for 6.14-rc1. Loads of different things in here this
development cycle, highlights are:

- ntsync "driver" to handle Windows locking types enabling Wine to
work much better on many workloads (i.e. games). The driver
framework was in 6.13, but now it's enabled and fully working
properly. Should make many SteamOS users happy. Even comes with
tests!

- Large IIO driver updates and bugfixes

- FPGA driver updates

- Coresight driver updates

- MHI driver updates

- PPS driver updatesa

- const bin_attribute reworking for many drivers

- binder driver updates

- smaller driver updates and fixes
