Devin Heitmueller 17d9d558e8 V4L/DVB (8006): em28xx: Split HVR900 into two separate entries
- Separate the newer variant of the HVR-900 into its own device profile
   because it has a Micronas DRX397 instead of the Zarlink demod.  This
   doesn't make the device work, but at least we don't try to initialize it
   as though it had the Zarlink device.

Mike Isely f90fe7a3f7 V4L/DVB (7939): pvrusb2: Remove sysfs interface hackery
Back in the early days of the pvrusb2 driver, the kernel class
mechanism in use for the sysfs interface had no means to pass
per-attribute information to the show / store functions.  This forced
me to implement a horrible ugly thunking mechanism (i.e. infer the
missing data through the use of dedicated cookie cutter bounce
functions).  However now we're using a better mechanism which also
passes enough additional information to the show / store functions
that we no longer need the hack.  So eliminate all the crap.  Yay!

Mike Isely fa98e59422 V4L/DVB (7938): pvrusb2: Increase enforced encoder wait delay to improve reliability
The driver enforces a "quiet period" on the encoder in certain
situations before attempting to operate it.  This seems to help avoid
video encoding errors / corruption.  The quiet period was 50msec, but
through experimentation it has been observed to improve further if the
interval is increased to 100msec.

Michael Krufky 5a4f5da655 V4L/DVB (7883): pvrusb2: make default frequency configurable via modprobe option
The pvrusb2 driver initially sets the tuner to known broadcast frequencies
in the Chicago area, to ease driver testing for the maintainer.

This patch keeps those default frequencies, but allows them to be altered
via modprobe option.  This allows the same ease and convenience for testing
multiple pvrusb2 devices one after another under other conditions and areas.

For instance, the default initial frequency, 175.25 MHz, might not
necessarily be valid on all cable television networks, but usually will be a
valid NTSC broadcast channel.

Grant Likely 7023cc6129 Fix collateral damage to top level Makefile
The patch named "powerpc/mpc5121: Add clock driver", also contained
an unrelated and bogus change to the top-level makefile.  This patch
backs out the bad bit.

Ingo Molnar 2464a609de ftrace: do not trace library functions
make function tracing more robust: do not trace library functions.

We've already got a sizable list of exceptions:

 ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE
 # Do not profile string.o, since it may be used in early boot or vdso
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg
 # Also do not profile any debug utilities
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_spinlock_debug.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_list_debug.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_debugobjects.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_find_next_bit.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_cpumask.o = -pg
 CFLAGS_REMOVE_bitmap.o = -pg
 endif

... and the pattern has been that random library functionality showed
up in ftrace's critical path (outside of its recursion check), causing
hard to debug lockups.

So be a bit defensive about it and exclude all lib/*.o functions by
default. It's not that they are overly interesting for tracing purposes
anyway. Specific ones can still be traced, in an opt-in manner.
