Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile
Pull tile update from Chris Metcalf:
"The interesting bug fix is support for the upcoming "4.2" release of
the Tilera hypervisor, which by default launches Linux at privilege
level 2 instead of 1. The fix lets new and old hypervisors and
Linuxes interoperate more smoothly, so I've tagged it for
stable@kernel.org so that older Linuxes will be able to boot under the
newer hypervisor."
* 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
usb: tilegx: fix memleak when create hcd fail
arch/tile: remove inline marking of EXPORT_SYMBOL functions
rtc: rtc-tile: add missing platform_device_unregister() when module exit
tile: support new Tilera hypervisor
