2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

2010-08-04Documentation: Add timers/timers-howto.txtPatrick Pannuto
This file seeks to explain the nuances in various delays; many driver writers are not necessarily familiar with the various kernel timers, their shortfalls, and quirks. When faced with ndelay, udelay, mdelay, usleep_range, msleep, and msleep_interrubtible the question "How do I just wait 1 ms for my hardware to latch?" has the non-intuitive "best" answer: usleep_range(1000,1500) This patch is followed by a series of checkpatch additions that seek to help kernel hackers pick the best delay.

2010-08-03kbuild: allow assignment to {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL on the command lineSam Ravnborg
It is now possible to assign options to AS and CC on the command line - which is only used for built-in code. {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL was used both in the top-level Makefile in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify additional options to AS, CC without overriding the original value. Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL that is used by arch specific files and free up {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL so they can be assigned on the command line. All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

2010-08-03kbuild: allow assignment to {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE on the command lineSam Ravnborg
It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD on the command line - which is only used when building modules. {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules without overriding the original value. Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE that is used by arch specific files and free up {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on the command line. All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated. Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped. So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by two assignmnets. Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage from this.

This adds support for the KWorld PlusTV 340U and KWorld UB345-Q ATSC sticks, which are really the same device. The sticks have an eMPIA em2870 usb bridge chipset, an LG Electronics LGDT3304 ATSC/QAM demodulator and an NXP TDA18271HD tuner -- early versions of the 340U have a a TDA18271HD/C1, later models and the UB435-Q have a C2. The stick has been tested succesfully with both VSB_8 and QAM_256 signals. Its using lgdt3304 support added to the lgdt3305 driver by a prior patch, rather than the current lgdt3304 driver, as its severely lacking in functionality by comparison (see said patch for details).

2010-08-01powerpc/5200/i2c: improve i2c bus error recoveryAlbrecht Dreß
This patch improves the recovery of the MPC's I2C bus from errors like bus hangs resulting in timeouts: 1. make the bus timeout configurable, as it depends on the bus clock and the attached slave chip(s); default is still 1 second; 2. detect any of the cases indicated by the CF, BB and RXAK MSR flags if a timeout occurs, and add a missing (required) MAL reset; 3. use a more reliable method to fixup the bus if a hang has been detected. The sequence is sent 9 times which seems to be necessary if a slave "misses" more than one clock cycle. For 400 kHz bus speed, the fixup is also ~70us (81us vs. 150us) faster. Tested on a custom Lite5200b derived board, with a Dallas RTC, AD sensors and NXP IO expander chips attached to the i2c. Changes vs. v1: - use improved bus fixup sequence for all chips (not only the 5200) - calculate real clock from defaults if no clock is given in the device tree - better description (I hope) of the changes. I didn't split the changes in this file into three parts as recommended by Grant, as they actually belong together (i.e. they address one single problem, just in three places of one single source file).
