Sakari Ailus bcb63314e2 [media] media: Drop FSF's postal address from the source code files
Drop the FSF's postal address from the source code files that typically
contain mostly the license text. Of the 628 removed instances, 578 are
outdated.

The patch has been created with the following command without manual edits:

git grep -l "675 Mass Ave\|59 Temple Place\|51 Franklin St" -- \
	drivers/media/ include/media|while read i; do i=$i perl -e '
open(F,"< $ENV{i}");
$a=join("", <F>);
$a =~ s/[ \t]*\*\n.*You should.*\n.*along with.*\n.*(\n.*USA.*$)?\n//m
	&& $a =~ s/(^.*)Or, (point your browser to) /$1To obtain the license, $2\n$1/m;
close(F);
open(F, "> $ENV{i}");
print F $a;
close(F);'; done

Bhaktipriya Shridhar 53eebd84c3 [media] gspca: finepix: Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue
The workqueue "work_thread" is involved in streaming the camera data.
It has a single work item(&dev->work_struct) and hence doesn't require
ordering. Also, it is not being used on a memory reclaim path.
Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been replaced with the use of
system_wq.

System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency
for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded
workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue
created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple
work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a
per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering
guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the
increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.

Work item has been flushed in sd_stop0() to ensure that there are no
pending tasks while disconnecting the driver.

Hans de Goede ff8f25d326 [media] gspca_finepix: Remove unnecessary lock/unlock call
gspca_main: init_transfer does not do anything between calling sd_start
(which starts the workqueue) and releasing the usb_lock, so this
synchronization is a nop, remove it.

Hans de Goede 345321dc9c [media] gspca: Don't set gspca_dev->dev to NULL before stop0
In commit a3d6e8cc0e gspca_dev->dev is set
to NULL on disconnect, before calling stop0. The plan was to get rid of
gspca_dev->present and instead simply check for gspca_dev->dev everywhere
where we were checking for present. This should be race free since all users
of gspca_dev->dev hold the usb_lock, or so I thought.

But I was wrong, drivers which use a work-queue + synchronous bulk transfers
to get the video data don't hold the usb_lock while doing so, their stop0
callbacks stop the workqueue, so they won't be using gspca_dev->dev anymore
after the stop0 call, but they might be dereferincing it before, so we should
not set gspca_dev->dev to NULL on disconnect before calling stop0.

This also means that the workqueue functions in these drivers cannot
use gspca_dev->dev to check if they need to stop because of disconnection,
so we will need to keep gspca_dev->present around, and set that to 0 on
disconnect, before calling stop0. Unfortunately as part of the plan to remove
gspca_dev->present, these workqueues where already moved over to checking
for gspca_dev->dev instead of gspca_dev->present as part of commit
254902b01d, so this patch also reverts those
parts of that commit.
