Pull MIPS fixes from Paul Burton:
 "A few more MIPS fixes:

   - Fix 16b cmpxchg() operations which could erroneously fail if bits
     15:8 of the old value are non-zero. In practice I'm not aware of
     any actual users of 16b cmpxchg() on MIPS, but this fixes the
     support for it was was introduced in v4.13.

   - Provide a struct device to dma_alloc_coherent for Lantiq XWAY
     systems with a "Voice MIPS Macro Core" (VMMC) device.

   - Provide DMA masks for BCM63xx ethernet devices, fixing a regression
     introduced in v4.19.

   - Fix memblock reservation for the kernel when the system has a
     non-zero PHYS_OFFSET, correcting the memblock conversion performed
     in v4.20"

  MIPS: fix memory setup for platforms with PHYS_OFFSET != 0
  MIPS: BCM63XX: provide DMA masks for ethernet devices
  MIPS: lantiq: pass struct device to DMA API functions
  MIPS: fix truncation in __cmpxchg_small for short values

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
