2008-10-16Remove videobook.tmplJonathan Corbet
This document describes the long-deprecated V4L1 interface. In-tree, it can only serve to encourage developers to write drivers to the wrong API. Remove it in favor of the V4L2 documentation which must surely show up someday.

2008-10-16kobject: Fix kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFSEric W. Biederman
When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel. kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when sysfs support is not compiled in. kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer simply does not have the infrastructure to do. This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name for the kobject is valid. This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name. This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename that attempts to see if a rename is valid. The check is bogus because we do not have the proper locking. The check is misleading because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject level that we don't. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2008-10-16driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messagesJason Baron
Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages. I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file, currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set. The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis. Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define their own debug levels and flags. Usage: Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows: <module_name> <enabled=0/1> . . . <module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides <enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not For example: snd_hda_intel enabled=0 fixup enabled=1 driver enabled=0 Enable a module: $echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable a module: $echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules Enable all modules: $echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Disable all modules: $echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above disable command.

2008-10-13regulator: core - Rework machine API to remove string based functions.Liam Girdwood
This improves the machine level API in order to configure regulator constraints and consumers as platform data and removes the old string based API that required several calls to set up each regulator. The intention is to create a struct regulator_init_data, populate it's fields with constraints, consumers devices, etc and then register the regulator device from board.c in the standard Linux way. e.g. regulator LDO2 (supplying codec and sim) platform data. /* regulator LDO2 consumer devices */ static struct regulator_consumer_supply ldo2_consumers[] = { { .dev = &platform_audio_device.dev, .supply = "codec_avdd", }, { .dev = &platform_sim_device.dev, .supply = "sim_vcc", } }; /* regulator LDO2 constraints */ static struct regulator_init_data ldo2_data = { .constraints = { .min_uV = 3300000, .max_uV = 3300000, .valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL, .apply_uV = 1, }, .num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(ldo2_consumers), .consumer_supplies = ldo2_consumers, }; /* machine regulator devices with thier consumers and constraints */ static struct platform_device wm8350_regulator_devices[] = { { .name = "wm8350-regulator", .id = WM8350_LDO_2, .dev = { .platform_data = &ldo2_data, }, }, }; Changes in detail:- o Removed all const char* regulator config functions in machine API. o Created new struct regulator_init_data to contain regulator machine configuration constraints and consmuers. o Changed set_supply(), set_machine_constraints(), set_consumer_device_supply() to remove their string identifier parameters. Also made them static and moved functions nearer top of core.c. o Removed no longer used inline func to_rdev() o Added regulator_get_init_drvdata() to retrieve init data. o Added struct device* as parameter to regulator_register(). o Changed my email address.

Put some information (and pointers to more) into the kernel's doc tree, describing briefly the interface to the kernel's disk head unloading facility. Information about how to set up a complete shock protection system under GNU/Linux can be found on the web and is referenced accordingly. v3: Here is some final polish including various spelling corrections pointed out by Grant Grundler and Peter Moulder. Also, I have added some information about the timing constraints related to disk head parking.

2008-10-12V4L/DVB (9113): saa7134: fixes for the Asus Tiger Revision 1.00Hermann Pitton
In opposite to the P7131 Dual this early OEM card has a male radio antenna connector and also no remote. We currently switch the DVB-T RF feed to the radio input, like on the P7131 with female radio connector used also for DVB-T and should improve this.
