Merge tag 'nfc-next-3.11-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sameo/nfc-next

Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com> says:

"These are the pending NFC patches for the 3.11 merge window.

It contains the pending fixes that were on nfc-fixes (nfc-fixes-3.10-2),
along with a few more for the pn544 and pn533 drivers, the LLCP
disconnection path and an LLCP memory leak.

Highlights for this one are:

- An initial secure element API. NFC chipsets can carry an embedded
  secure element or get access to the SIM one. In both cases they
  control the secure elements and this API provides a way to discover,
  enable and disable the available SEs. It also exports that to
  userspace in order for SE focused middleware to actually do something
  with them (e.g. payments).

- NCI over SPI support. SPI is the most complex NCI specified transport
  layer and we now have support for it in the kernel. The next step will
  be to implement drivers for NCI chipsets using this transport like
  e.g. bcm2079x.

- NFC p2p hardware simulation driver. We now have an nfcsim driver that
  is mostly a loopback device between 2 NFC interfaces. It also
  implements the rest of the NFC core API like polling and target
  detection. This driver, with neard running on top of it, allows us to
  completely test the LLCP, SNEP and Handover implementation without
  physical hardware.

- A Firmware update netlink API. Most (All ?) HCI chipsets have a
  special firmware update mode where applications can push a new
  firmware that will be flashed. We now have a netlink API for providing
  that mode to e.g. nfctool."
