Merge branch 'master' into for-next

Sync with Linus tree to have 157550ff ("mtd: add GPMI-NAND driver
in the config and Makefile") as I have patch depending on that one.

+	tristate "PLIP (parallel port) support"
+	depends on PARPORT
+	---help---
+	  PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
+	  reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
+	  local machines.  A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
+	  install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
+	  CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
+	  first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
+	  enabled for this to work.
+
+	  The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1.  The parallel
+	  ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
+	  with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
+	  bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
+	  bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
+	  time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
+	  <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>.  The cables can be up to
+	  15m long.  Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
+	  and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
+	  driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
+	  and winsock or NCSA's telnet.
+
+	  If you want to use PLIP, say Y and read the PLIP mini-HOWTO as well
+	  as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
+	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.  Note that the PLIP
+	  protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
+	  with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x.  This option enlarges
+	  your kernel by about 8 KB.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+	  will be called plip. If unsure, say Y or M, in case you buy
+	  a laptop later.
