Mika Westerberg 8afda8b26d spi-nor: Add support for Intel SPI serial flash controller
Add support for the SPI serial flash host controller found on many Intel
CPUs including Baytrail and Braswell. The SPI serial flash controller is
used to access BIOS and other platform specific information. By default the
driver exposes a single read-only MTD device but with a module parameter
"writeable=1" the MTD device can be made read-write which makes it possible
to upgrade BIOS directly from Linux.

Linus Torvalds e413a19a8e MTD updates for 3.16:
- refactor m25p80.c driver for use as a general SPI NOR framework for other
   drivers which may speak to SPI NOR flash without providing full SPI support
   (i.e., not part of drivers/spi/)
 - new Freescale QuadSPI driver (utilizing new SPI NOR framework)
 - updates for the STMicro "FSM" SPI NOR driver
 - fix sync/flush behavior on mtd_blkdevs
 - fixup subpage write support on a few NAND drivers
 - correct the MTD OOB test for odd-sized OOB areas
 - add BCH-16 support for OMAP NAND
 - fix warnings and trivial refactoring
 - utilize new ECC DT bindings in pxa3xx NAND driver
 - new LPDDR NVM driver
 - address a few assorted bugs caught by Coverity
 - add new imx6sx support for GPMI NAND
 - use a bounce buffer for NAND when non-DMA-able buffers are used

Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.
