2011-05-26ARM: 6940/1: fiq: Briefly document driver responsibilities for suspend/resumeDave Martin
Drivers which make use of the FIQ interrupt may require the state of the FIQ mode registers to be preserved across suspend/resume. Because the FIQ mode registers are not saved and restored automatically by the kernel, driver authors will need to do the appropriate save/restore in their own driver suspend/resume handlers. Implementing global automatic save/restore of the FIQ state does not appear appropriate, since this by itself is not sufficient for FIQ-based drivers to function correctly across suspend/resume in any case. This patch adds a brief explanatory note to fiq.h documenting the requirement placed on driver authors.

2011-05-26ARM: 6938/1: fiq: Refactor {get,set}_fiq_regs() for Thumb-2Dave Martin
* To remove the risk of inconvenient register allocation decisions by the compiler, these functions are separated out as pure assembler. * The apcs frame manipulation code is not applicable for Thumb-2 (and also not easily compatible). Since it's not essential to have a full frame on these leaf assembler functions, the frame manipulation is removed, in the interests of simplicity. * Split up ldm/stm instructions to be compatible with Thumb-2, as well as avoiding instruction forms deprecated on >= ARMv7.
