Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc architecture fixes for v4.13-rc4

Hi Linus,

please pull four small important fixes for the parisc architecture for 4.13-rc4 from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-4.13-4

Changes:
- Our cache flushing code runs into a BUG in case context is not current. Fix
  it by flushing the whole cache in such rare situations (by Dave Anglin).

- Fix a "sleeping function called from invalid context BUG" in our pdc_stable
  driver by rearranging our locks (by James Bottomley)

- The thread and irq stacks require more than 16 KB since kernel 4.11. Increase
  both to 32 KB.

- Define CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN unconditionally on parisc to avoid wrong behaviour
  in qrwlock functions (by Babu Moger).

Thanks,
Helge
