The warnings are:
drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.c: warning: 'err' may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]At lines 109 and 207. Reported by Geert using the build service
several times, e.g.:https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/19/303
They are two false positives, since num_chars > 0 in the three present
configurations (boston, malta, sead3). Initialize to 0 in order to
silence the warning.Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven

This change resolves a new compile-time warning
when built as a loadable module:WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.o
see include/linux/module.h for more informationThis adds the license as "GPL", which matches the header of the file.
MODULE_DESCRIPTION and MODULE_AUTHOR are also added.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another big pile of changes:- More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
need to think about the syscalls themself.- A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.- Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.
- Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.- The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
really exciting"* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (111 commits)

MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such
many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch
updates the addresses for those who:- Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com
email address, or any patches dated within the past year.- Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business
unit, as determined from an internal email address list.- Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed
a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej).- Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt &
myself.New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all
verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to
.mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new
addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead.Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then
mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.Signed-off-by: Paul Burton

If the driver is built as a module, autoload won't work because the module
alias information is not filled. So user-space can't match the registered
device with the corresponding module.Export the module alias information using the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro.
Before this patch:
$ modinfo drivers/auxdisplay/img-ascii-lcd.ko | grep alias

Add a driver for simple ASCII LCD displays found on the MIPS Boston,
Malta & SEAD3 development boards. The Boston display is an independent
memory mapped device with a simple memory mapped 8 byte register space
containing the 8 ASCII characters to display. The Malta display is
exposed as part of the Malta board registers, and provides 8 registers
each of which corresponds to one of the ASCII characters to display. The
SEAD3 display is slightly more complex, exposing an interface to an
S6A0069 LCD controller via registers provided by the boards CPLD.
However although the displays differ in their register interface, we
require similar functionality on each board so abstracting away the
differences within a single driver allows us to share a significant
amount of code & ensure consistent behaviour.The driver displays the Linux kernel version as the default message, but
allows the message to be changed via a character device. Messages longer
then the number of characters that the display can show will scroll.This provides different behaviour to the existing LCD display code for
the MIPS Malta or MIPS SEAD3 platforms in the following ways:- The default string to display is not "LINUX ON MALTA" or "LINUX ON
SEAD3" but "Linux" followed by the version number of the kernel
(UTS_RELEASE).- Since that string tends to be significantly longer it scrolls twice
as fast, moving every 500ms rather than every 1s.- The LCD won't be updated until the driver is probed, so it doesn't
provide the early "LINUX" string.Signed-off-by: Paul Burton
