Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.

2007-07-12USB: prevent char device open/deregister raceAlan Stern
This patch (as908) adds central protection in usbcore for the prototypical race between opening and unregistering a char device. The spinlock used to protect the minor-numbers array is replaced with an rwsem, which can remain locked across a call to a driver's open() method. This guarantees that open() and deregister() will be mutually exclusive. The private locks currently used in several individual drivers for this purpose are no longer necessary, and the patch removes them. The following USB drivers are affected: usblcd, idmouse, auerswald, legousbtower, sisusbvga/sisusb, ldusb, adutux, iowarrior, and usb-skeleton. As a side effect of this change, usb_deregister_dev() must not be called while holding a lock that is acquired by open(). Unfortunately a number of drivers do this, but luckily the solution is simple: call usb_deregister_dev() before acquiring the lock. In addition to these changes (and their consequent code simplifications), the patch fixes a use-after-free bug in adutux and a race between open() and release() in iowarrior.

2007-07-06potential compiler error, irqfunc caller sites updateYoann Padioleau
In 7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5 David Howells performed this evolution: "IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers" He correctly updated many of the function definitions that were using this extra regs pointer parameter but forgot to update some caller sites of those functions. The reason the modifications was not properly done on all drivers is that some drivers were rarely compiled because they are for AMIGA, or that some code sites were inside #ifdefs where the option is not set or inside #if 0.

2007-04-27USB: iowarrior.c: timeouts too small in usb_control_msg callsEberhard Fahle
The driver uses usb_control_msg() for exchanging data with the device. When the driver lived freeley _outside_ the kernel tree (pre 2.6.21) the timeouts for these calls where set to 5*HZ for reading, 1HZ for writing. (These timeouts seemed to work fine for all users of the driver, at least nobody complained in the last 2 years. The current code (2.6.21-rc5) removed the 'HZ' from the timeouts and left the driver with 5 jiffies for reading and 1 jiffy for writing. My new machine is fast, but not that fast.

2007-02-20backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file.

Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-12-20USB: u132-hcd/ftdi-elan: add support for Option GT 3G Quad cardTony Olech
ELAN's U132 is a USB to CardBus OHCI controller adapter, designed specifically for CardBus 3G data cards to function in machines without a CardBus slot. The "ftdi-elan" module is a USB client driver, that detects a supported CardBus OHCI controller plugged into the U132 adapter and thereafter provides the conduit for for access by the "u132-hcd" module. The "u132-hcd" module is a (cut-down OHCI) host controller that supports a single OHCI function of the CardBus card inserted into the U132 adapter. The problem with the initial implementation is that when the CardBus card inserted into the U132 adapter has multiple functions (and a CardBus card can support up to 4 functions), it was the first function that was arbitrarily choosen. The first batch of 3G cards tested, like the Merlin Qualcomm V620, have two functions each supporting a seperate USB OHCI host controller, of which it was that first function that is wired up to the 3G modem. Then along comes the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card, aka "Option GT 3G Quad" as printed on it's rear or "Option N.V. GlobeTrotter Fusion Quad Lite" as read with "lspci -v". And it has the meaningful functionality in the second CardBus function. That presents a problem because it was the "ftdi-elan" module alone that knows how to communicate to the embedded CardBus slot and the "u132-hcd" module alone that knows how to access the pcmcia configuration and CardBus accessible memory space. And of course, the information about attached (internally hardwired) devices is contained within USB configuration embedded somewhere within the CardBus card. If only the "u132-hcd" module probe() interface could return a result code that propagated back to the instigating function platform_device_register() then the "ftdi-elan" module could try an alternative CardBus function. However in spite of the recent changes to the drivers/base/ routines that moved device_attach() from bus_add_device() to bus_attach_device() both of those routines lose the "failed to attach" 0 result code and thus the calling routine, namely device_add() is incapable of propaging the "failed to attach" condition back to platform_device_add() and consequently back to the caller of platform_device_register() Experiments show that patching bus_attach_device() to return ENODEV fails with the kernel locking up very early during boot. But, however, if the patch is restricted to calls from platform_device_add() then it does seem to work. Unfortunately, until the kernel's drivers/base is properly modified to propagate -ENODEV back to the caller of platform_device_register(), it is necessary to "fix" the "ftdi-elan" module by importing knowledge from the "u132-hcd" module. This is the reason for the duplicated functionality introduced in this patch. Signed-off-by: Tony Olech <tony.olech@elandigitalsystems.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
