2008-10-17USB: hub.c: Add initial_descriptor_timeout module parameter for usbcoreJaroslav Kysela
This patch adds initial_descriptor_timeout module parameter for usbcore.ko to allow modify initial 64-byte USB_REQ_GET_DESCRIPTOR timeout for non-standard devices. For example, the SATA8000 device from DATAST0R Technology Corp requires about 10 seconds to send reply (probably it waits until inserted disk is ready for operation). Also, this patch adds missing usbcore parameters to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.

2008-10-17USB: Export if an interface driver supports autosuspend.Sarah Sharp
Create a new sysfs file per interface named supports_autosuspend. This file returns true if an interface driver's .supports_autosuspend flag is set. It also returns true if the interface is unclaimed (since the USB core will autosuspend a device if an interface is not claimed). This new sysfs file will be useful for user space scripts to test whether a USB device correctly auto-suspends.

2008-10-17hwmon: (it87) Fix thermal sensor type valuesJean Delvare
The it87 driver doesn't follow the standard sensor type values as documented in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. It uses value 2 for thermistors instead of value 4. This causes "sensors" to tell the user that the chip is setup for a transistor while it is actually setup for a thermistor. Using value 4 for thermistors solves the problem. For compatibility reasons, we still accept value 2 but emit a warning message so that users update their configuration files.

2008-10-17hwmon: (lm85) Implement the standard PWM frequency interfaceJean Delvare
Implement the standard PWM frequency interface: pwm[1-*]_freq in units of 1 Hz, instead of the non-standard pwm[1-*]_auto_pwm_freq in units of 0.1 Hz. The old naming was not only non-standard, it was also confusing, because it suggested that the frequency value only applied in automatic fan speed mode, which isn't true.

2008-10-16intelfb: support 945GME (as used in ASUS Eee 901)Phil Endecott
Add support for Intel's 945GME graphics chip to the intelfb driver. I have assumed that the 945GME is identical to the already-supported 945GM apart from its PCI IDs; this is based on a quick look at the X driver for these chips which seems to treat them identically. The 945GME is used in the ASUS Eee 901, and I coded this in the hope that I'd be able to use it to get a console at the native 1024x600 resolution which is not known to the BIOS. I realised too late that the intelfb driver does not support mode changing on laptops, so it won't be any use for me.
