Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

If the HSI core is built as a module hsi_boardinfo may still
be built-in as its Kconfig type is bool, which can cause build
issues. Fix this by building this code into the HSI core when
enabled.Reported-by: kbuild test robot

Add OMAP SSI driver to the HSI subsystem.
The Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) is a legacy version
of HSI. As in the case of HSI, it is mainly used to connect
Application engines (APE) with cellular modem engines (CMT)
in cellular handsets.It provides a multichannel, full-duplex, multi-core communication
with no reference clock. The OMAP SSI block is capable of reaching
speeds of 110 Mbit/s.Signed-off-by: Carlos Chinea

Adds HSI framework in to the linux kernel.
High Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (HSI) is a
serial interface mainly used for connecting application
engines (APE) with cellular modem engines (CMT) in cellular
handsets.HSI provides multiplexing for up to 16 logical channels,
low-latency and full duplex communication.Signed-off-by: Carlos Chinea
