This version fixes some sparse complaints; reduces stack usage in
xfer_secondary_pool; fixes a lockdep complaint caused by
get_random_bytes() getting called from interrupt context; and other
minor updates as requested by patch reviewers.

					- Ted

Linus Torvalds (1):
  random: create add_device_randomness() interface

Mark Brown (2):
  rtc: wm831x: Feed the write counter into device_add_randomness()
  mfd: wm831x: Feed the device UUID into device_add_randomness()

Theodore Ts'o (9):
  random: fix up sparse warnings
  random: make 'add_interrupt_randomness()' do something sane
  random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt path
  usb: feed USB device information to the /dev/random driver
  net: feed /dev/random with the MAC address when registering a device
  random: use the arch-specific rng in xfer_secondary_pool
  random: add new get_random_bytes_arch() function
  random: add tracepoints for easier debugging and verification
