In the function of wait_transaction_complete when the timeout happens,
OS will try to check the status of SMbus again. If the status is what OS
expected, it will be regarded as the bogus timeout. Otherwise it will be
treated as ETIME.

The following patch (based on a patch from Stephen Gildea) fixes a
regression with the LCD brightness keys on Fujitsu P8010 laptops which was
observed with the 2.6.27-rc series (basically they stopped working due to
changes within the fujitsu-laptop and video modules). Please apply to
2.6.27-rc and acpi git.
A more complete solution for this laptop will be included in an upcoming
patch, hopefully for 2.6.28. In the meantime this restores most
functionality for P8010 users.

The Extended Interrupt descriptor has a producer/consumer bit, but
it's not clear what that would mean, and existing BIOSes use the bit
inconsistently. This patch makes Linux PNPACPI ignore the bit.
The ACPI spec contains examples of PCI Interrupt Link devices marked
as ResourceProducers, but many BIOSes mark them as ResourceConsumers.
I also checked with a Windows contact, who said:
Windows uses only "resource consumer" when dealing with
interrupts. There's no useful way of looking at a resource
producer of interrupts.
... NT-based Windows largely infers the producer/consumer stuff
from the device type and ignores the bits in the namespace. This
was necessary because Windows 98 ignored them and early namespaces
contained random junk.
The reason I want to change this is because if PNPACPI devices exclude
ResourceProducer IRQ resources, we can't write PNP drivers for those
devices.
For example, on machines such as the the HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620,
rx8640, and Superdome, HPET interrupts are ResourceProducers. The
HPET driver currently has to use acpi_bus_register_driver() and do its
own _CRS parsing, even though it requires absolutely no ACPI-specific
functionality.
It would be better if the HPET driver were a PNP driver and took
advantage of the _CRS parsing built into PNPACPI.
This producer/consumer check was originally added here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=2b8de5f50e4a302b83ebcd5b0120621336d50bd6
to fix this bug:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6292
However, the bug was related only to memory and I/O port resources,
where the distinction is sensible and important to Linux. Given that
the distinction is muddled for IRQ resources, I think it was a mistake
to add the check there.

This is unnecessary since well encoded LCD_* flags will not generate

poll_idle was added to CPUIDLE, just as a low latency idle handler, to be
used in cases when user desires CPUs not to enter any idle state at all. It
was supposed to be a run time idle=poll option to the user. But, it was indeed
getting used during normal menu and ladder governor default case, with no
special user setting (Reported by Linus Torvalds).
Change below ensures that poll_idle will not be used unless user explicitly
asks pm_qos infrastructure for zero latency requirement.

When reviewing a recent patch I noticed a potential trouble spot in the
registration of new SPI devices. The SPI master driver is told to set
the device up before adding it to the driver model, so that it's always
properly set up when probe() is called. (This is important, because in
the case of inverted chipselects, this device can make the bus misbehave
until it's properly deselected. It's got to be set up even if no driver
binds to the device.)
The trouble spot is that it doesn't first verify that no other device
has been added using that chipselect. If such a device has been added,
its configuration gets trashed. (Fortunately this has not been a common
error!)
The fix here adds an explicit check, and a mutex to protect the relevant
critical region.

Currently, all sensors are read when the energy meter is queried via
sysfs. This introduces a considerable amount of delay and variation in
the sysfs reading, which is not desirable when trying to profile energy
use. Therefore, read only the energy meters when a sysfs query comes in
for them, and don't cache the results so that we always get the latest
reading.

On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an
IPMI error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing. On the x3650 M2 and
(presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a
buffer full of garbage or zeroes. This causes the probe function to run
in an infinite loop. To fix this, we add one last check--if the
interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of
interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing.

Previously the driver was only using DMI to prevent smbus probing on
non-Abit motherboards. However, since the manual probing method is
brittle and prone to failure on some Abit motherboards (esp. the Abit
IP35 Pro) it is better to use DMI to also read the board name and then
decide whether or not to probe the bus.
At the moment, we do not have a list of valid DMI name strings to use
for existing and supported motherboards. This patch only implements DMI
probing for the IP35 Pro. For motherboards that can not yet use DMI
probing, a warning will be printed to the kernel log asking those users
to email me their dmidecode output.
The existing manual probing mechanism will be used if CONFIG_DMI is not
enabled, if DMI probing fails (for DMI-unsupported motherboards), or if
DMI probing fails and the "force" option is set (for DMI-supported
motherboards). Ideally in the longer term this manual probing method
would be removed.
This patch should be safe to apply as it does not change the probing
behaviour for most of the supported motherboards, just the IP35 Pro,
which already has regressions filed against it in 2.6.26.

acpi_penalize_isa_irq() should validate irq before using it to
index the acpi_irq_penalty[] table.
Here's the path I'm concerned about:
pnpacpi_parse_allocated_irqresource()
{
...
irq = acpi_register_gsi(gsi, triggering, polarity);
if (irq >= 0)
pcibios_penalize_isa_irq(irq, 1);
There's no guarantee that acpi_register_gsi() will return an IRQ
within the bounds of acpi_irq_penalty[].
I have not seen a failure I can attribute to this. However,
ACPI_MAX_IRQS is only 256, and I'm pretty sure ia64 can have
IRQs larger than that.
I think this should go in 2.6.27.

When EC is in Polling mode, OS will check the EC status continually by using
the following source code:
clear_bit(EC_FLAGS_WAIT_GPE, &ec->flags);
while (time_before(jiffies, delay)) {
if (acpi_ec_check_status(ec, event))
return 0;
msleep(1);
}
But msleep is realized by the function of schedule_timeout. At the same time
although one process is already waken up by some events, it won't be scheduled
immediately. So maybe there exists the following phenomena:
a. The current jiffies is already after the predefined jiffies.
But before timeout happens, OS has no chance to check the EC
status again.
b. If preemptible schedule is enabled, maybe preempt schedule will happen
before checking loop. When the process is resumed again, maybe
timeout already happens, which means that OS has no chance to check
the EC status.
In such case maybe EC status is already what OS expects when timeout happens.
But OS has no chance to check the EC status and regards it as AE_TIME.
So it will be more appropriate that OS will try to check the EC status again
when timeout happens. If the EC status is what we expect, it won't be regarded
as timeout. Only when the EC status is not what we expect, it will be regarded
as timeout, which means that EC controller can't give a response in time.

On some ASUS laptops the ECDT gives the incorrect command/status & Data I/O
register address.
AK: it seems like the command/data addresses are exchanged.
In such case it will cause that EC device can't be
initialized correctly.
To add the EC dmi table is to fix this issue. If the laptop falls into the
EC dmi table, the EC command/data I/O address will be fixed.
AK: Add comments describing this better
