2008-07-20V4L/DVB (7986): cx23885: add initial support for DViCO FusionHDTV7 Dual ExpressMichael Krufky
Only one frontend is enabled right now. The second frontend can lock, but transport doesn't work yet. The device will be supported as a single tuner device until the second frontend is working.

2008-07-16ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparamZhao Yakui
"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH) C-states. When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
2008-07-16ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparamZhao Yakui
"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using the halt instruction. No MWAIT, no IO accesses, no C-states deeper than C1. If something is broken in the idle code, "idle=halt" is a less severe workaround than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

user-space Allow users to enable/disable/clear a specific & valid GPE/Fixed Event in user space. This is useful for debugging, especially for some interrupt storm issues. All wakeup GPEs are disabled and they can not be enabled at runtime, and we mark them as invalid. All GPEs that don't have a _Lxx/_Exx method are marked as invalid. All Fixed Events that don't have an event handler are marked as invalid and they can't be enabled until an event handler is registered.

Make sure that each error condition during the execution of an HDIO_DRIVE_RESET ioctl is actually reported to the calling process. Also, unify the exit path of reset_pollfunc() when returning ide_stopped since the need of ->port_ops->reset_poll() to be treated specially has vanished (way back, it seems).

Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these devices can't be detected anyway.

2008-07-14configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors.Joel Becker
The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack. Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the ->make_item/group() ops to return an int. Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com>

2008-07-14i2c: Add detection capability to new-style driversJean Delvare
Add a mechanism to let new-style i2c drivers optionally autodetect devices they would support on selected buses and ask i2c-core to instantiate them. This is a replacement for legacy i2c drivers, much cleaner. Where drivers had to implement both a legacy i2c_driver and a new-style i2c_driver so far, this mechanism makes it possible to get rid of the legacy i2c_driver and implement both enumerated and detected device support with just one (new-style) i2c_driver. Here is a quick conversion guide for these drivers, step by step: * Delete the legacy driver definition, registration and removal. Delete the attach_adapter and detach_client methods of the legacy driver. * Change the prototype of the legacy detect function from static int foo_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address, int kind); to static int foo_detect(struct i2c_client *client, int kind, struct i2c_board_info *info); * Set the new-style driver detect callback to this new function, and set its address_data to &addr_data (addr_data is generally provided by I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD.) * Add the appropriate class to the new-style driver. This is typically the class the legacy attach_adapter method was checking for. Class checking is now mandatory (done by i2c-core.) See <linux/i2c.h> for the list of available classes. * Remove the i2c_client allocation and freeing from the detect function. A pre-allocated client is now handed to you by i2c-core, and is freed automatically. * Make the detect function fill the type field of the i2c_board_info structure it was passed as a parameter, and return 0, on success. If the detection fails, return -ENODEV. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-07-14i2c: Delete unused function i2c_smbus_write_quickJean Delvare
Function i2c_smbus_write_quick has no users left, so we can delete it. Also update the list of these helper functions which are gone but could be added back if needed. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2008-07-14i2c-core: Return -Errno, not -1David Brownell
More updates to the I2C stack's fault reporting: make the core stop returning "-1" (usually "-EPERM") for all faults. Instead, pass lower level fault code up the stack, or return some appropriate errno. This patch happens to touch almost exclusively SMBus calls.

2008-07-14i2c: Document standard fault codesDavid Brownell
Create Documentation/i2c/fault-codes to help standardize fault/error code usage in the I2C stack. It turns out that returning -1 (-EPERM) for everything was not at all helpful. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
