2013-02-14mfd: vexpress: Add pseudo-GPIO based LEDsPawel Moll
The LEDs on the Versatile Express motherboard are controlled through simple memory-mapped register. This patch extends the pseudo-GPIO controller definition for these lines and creates generic "leds-gpio" device using them Signed-off-by: Pawel Moll <pawel.moll@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@linux.intel.com>

2013-02-14mfd: rtsx: Optimize card detect flowWei WANG
1. Schedule card detect work at the end of the ISR 2. Callback function ops->cd_deglitch may delay for a period of time. It is not proper to call this callback when local irq disabled. 3. Card detect flow can't be executed in parallel with other card reader operations, so it's better to be protected by mutex.

The tps65090 mfd driver implement the suspend/resume callbacks which just disable and enable irqs in suspend/resume respectively. This operation is already done in irq suspend and irq_resume and hence it is not require to implement the same in the driver. Remove this non-require code.

2013-02-14mfd: arizona: Disable interrupts during resumeMark Brown
Runtime power management does not function during system suspend but the Arizona devices need to use runtime power management to power up the device in order to handle interrupts. Try to avoid interrupts firing during resume by disabling the primary IRQ before interrupts are reenabled on resume and only reenabling it again during main resume. The goal is to avoid issues in the situation where an interrupt is asserted during resume (eg, due to it being the wake source) and the interrupt handling gets scheduled prior to the device being able to handle runtime PM.

i2c_hid_output_raw_report is used by hidraw to forward set_report requests. The current implementation of i2c_hid_set_report needs to take the report_id as an argument. The report_id is stored in the first byte of the buffer in argument of i2c_hid_output_raw_report. Not removing the report_id from the given buffer adds this byte 2 times in the command, leading to a non working command.

2013-01-31dm thin: fix queue limits stackingMike Snitzer
thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool which can lead to incorrect limits being set. The fix here simply deletes the thin_io_hints() hook which leaves the existing stacking infrastructure to set the limits correctly. When a thin-pool uses an MD device for the data device a thin device from the thin-pool must respect MD's constraints about disallowing a bio from spanning multiple chunks. Otherwise we can see problems. If the raid0 chunksize is 1152K and thin-pool chunksize is 256K I see the following md/raid0 error (with extra debug tracing added to thin_endio) when mkfs.xfs is executed against the thin device: md/raid0:md99: make_request bug: can't convert block across chunks or bigger than 1152k 6688 127 device-mapper: thin: bio sector=2080 err=-5 bi_size=130560 bi_rw=17 bi_vcnt=32 bi_idx=0 This extra DM debugging shows that the failing bio is spanning across the first and second logical 1152K chunk (sector 2080 + 255 takes the bio beyond the first chunk's boundary of sector 2304). So the bio splitting that DM is doing clearly isn't respecting the MD limits. max_hw_sectors_kb is 127 for both the thin-pool and thin device (queue_max_hw_sectors returns 255 so we'll excuse sysfs's lack of precision). So this explains why bi_size is 130560. But the thin device's max_hw_sectors_kb should be 4 (PAGE_SIZE) given that it doesn't have a .merge function (for bio_add_page to consult indirectly via dm_merge_bvec) yet the thin-pool does sit above an MD device that has a compulsory merge_bvec_fn. This scenario is exactly why DM must resort to sending single PAGE_SIZE bios to the underlying layer. Some additional context for this is available in the header for commit 8cbeb67a ("dm: avoid unsupported spanning of md stripe boundaries"). Long story short, the reason a thin device doesn't properly get configured to have a max_hw_sectors_kb of 4 (PAGE_SIZE) is that thin_io_hints() is blindly copying the queue limits from the thin-pool device directly to the thin device's queue limits. Fix this by eliminating thin_io_hints. Doing so is safe because the block layer's queue limits stacking already enables the upper level thin device to inherit the thin-pool device's discard and minimum_io_size and optimal_io_size limits that get set in pool_io_hints. But avoiding the queue limits copy allows the thin and thin-pool limits to be different where it is important, namely max_hw_sectors_kb.

2013-01-30efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilitiesMatt Fleming
Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.
