2009-09-21trivial: doc: hpfall: accept disk device to unload as argumentFrans Pop
Allows users who use an IDE driver for their disk to use hpfall without having to modify the source. By default /dev/sda is used. Suggested by Christian Thaeter in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/25/505. While we're add it, improve error message if opening /dev/freefall fails.

2009-09-21trivial: doc: hpfall: reduce risk that hpfall can do harmChristian Thaeter
Improve the example code to be at least useable, as in not causing harm (as shown below). Code can still be improved further, but this adds some basic safeguards. 1. hpfall *MUST* mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE); itself! Since the Program sits and waits most of the time it becomes very likely swapped out. If it gets woken up when the laptop drops from the table while it is swapped out it actually triggers harddrive activity! 2. Daemonize hpfall using 'daemon(0,0)' (quick and dirty). 3. Give hpfall realtime priority. Should give a chance that it has less latency when woken up.

2009-09-19mtd: maps: add mtd-ram support to physmap_ofWolfram Sang
Use physmap_of to access RAMs as mtd and add documenation for it. This approach is a lot less intrusive as adding an of-wrapper around plat-ram.c. As most extensions of plat-ram.c (e.g. custom map-functions) can't be mapped to the device tree anyhow, extending physmap_of seems to be the cleanest approach. Tested with a phyCORE-MPC5121e.

2009-09-19hwmon driver for ACPI 4.0 power metersDarrick J. Wong
This driver exposes ACPI 4.0 compliant power meters as hardware monitoring devices. This second revision of the driver also exports the ACPI string info as sysfs attributes, a list of the devices that the meter measures, and will send ACPI notifications over the ACPI netlink socket. This latest revision only enables the power capping controls if it can be confirmed that the power cap can be enforced by the hardware and explains how the notification interfaces work.

echo "reset" > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey should do something non-useless, so instead of setting it to Fn+F2, Fn+F3, Fn+F5, set it to hotkey_recommended_mask.

2009-09-19thinkpad-acpi: deprecate hotkey_bios_maskHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Some analysis of the ACPI DSDTs shows that the HKEY pre-enabled mask is always 0x80c (FN+F3,FN+F4 and FN+F12), which are the hotkeys that the second gen of HKEY firmware supported (the first gen didn't report any hotkeys, the second reported these tree hotkeys but had no mask support, and the third added mask support). So, this is probably some sort of backwards compatibility with older versions of the IBM ThinkVantage suite. We have no use for that, and I know of exactly ZERO users of that attribute, anyway. Start the process of getting rid of it. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Zolid_Hybrid_TV_Tuner test status analog (PAL-B): - Sometimes picture is noisy, but it becomes crystal clear after switching between channels. (happens for example at 687.25 Mhz) - On a lower frequency (511.25 Mhz) the picture is always sharp, but lacks colour. - No sound problems. - radio untested. Digital: - DVB-T/H stream reception works. - Would expect to see some more channels in the higher frequency region. Overall is the impression that sensitivity still needs improvement both in analog and digital modes.

The term 'kernel number' is very vague, so replace it with the somewhat more descriptive term 'device node number'. In one place the local variable 'nr' was used to create the device node number of the new device name.
