2008-01-25V4L/DVB (6665a): finish the VID_HARDWARE_* removalAdrian Bunk

2008-01-25V4L/DVB (6619): Use MTS firmware for the HVR-900Aidan Thornton
The HVR-900 requires the MTS version of the xc3028 firmware in order to get any sound. The below patch selects this firmware variant on HVR-900 cards, as well as splitting the HVR-950 into its own entry (since I don't know if it uses the MTS variant and it will have to be split off eventually anyway).

This patch updates the list of transforms we support and clarifies that the Block Ciphers interface in fact supports all ciphers including stream ciphers.

2008-01-08[IPV4] ipconfig: Fix regression in ip command line processingAmos Waterland
The recent changes for ip command line processing fixed some problems but unfortunately broke some common usage scenarios. In current 2.6.24-rc6 the following command line results in no IP address assignment, which is surely a regression: ip=10.0.2.15::10.0.2.2:255.255.255.0::eth0:off Please find below a patch that works for all cases I can find.

The console is now by default in UTF-8 mode. Fix the documentation on the default value, so that we can explain behaviour that otherwise causes bug-reports like this: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9319 Also add the needed "vt." prefix, so that the boot-time config options to switch back to the legacy 8-bit mode is actually documented correctly.

2007-12-26[IPV4]: Fix ip command line processing.Simon Horman
Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::::::off as the latter is ignored and the default (on) is used. This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion. But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that ip=::::::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration. This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::::::on) is the default. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
