James Bottomley e88a0c2ca8 drivers: fix dma_get_required_mask
There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask()
where it ands the returned mask with the current device mask.  This
rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what
your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default
DMA_32BIT_MASK).  This bug results in any driver that uses this function
*always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong.

Fix by removing the and with dev->dma_mask.

Greg Kroah-Hartman c6f7e72a3f driver core: remove fields from struct bus_type
struct bus_type is static everywhere in the kernel.  This moves the
kobject in the structure out of it, and a bunch of other private only to
the driver core fields are now moved to a private structure.  This lets
us dynamically create the backing kobject properly and gives us the
chance to be able to document to users exactly how to use the struct
bus_type as there are no fields they can improperly access.

Thanks to Kay for the build fixes on this patch.

David Brownell 49a4ec188f fix hotplug for legacy platform drivers
We've had various reports of some legacy "probe the hardware" style
platform drivers having nasty problems with hotplug support.

The core issue is that those legacy drivers don't fully conform to the
driver model.  They assume a role that should be the responsibility of
infrastructure code: creating device nodes.

The "modprobe" step in hotplugging relies on drivers to have split those
roles into different modules.  The lack of this split causes the problems.
When a driver creates nodes for devices that don't exist (sending a hotplug
event), then exits (aborting one modprobe) before the "modprobe $MODALIAS"
step completes (by failing, since it's in the middle of a modprobe), the
result can be an endless loop of modprobe invocations ...  badness.

This fix uses the newish per-device flag controlling issuance of "add"
events.  (A previous version of this patch used a per-device "driver can
hotplug" flag, which only scrubbed $MODALIAS from the environment rather
than suppressing the entire hotplug event.) It also shrinks that flag to
one bit, saving a word in "struct device".

So the net of this patch is removing some nasty failures with legacy
drivers, while retaining hotplug capability for the majority of platform
drivers.

Jean Delvare dc4c15d44b platform: reorder platform_device_del
In platform_device_del(), we currently delete the device resources
first, then we delete the device itself. This causes a (minor) bug to
occur when one unregisters a platform device before unregistering its
platform driver, and the driver is requesting (in .probe()) and
releasing (in .remove()) a resource of the device. The device
resources are already gone by the time the driver gets the chance to
release the resources it had been requesting, causing an error like:
Trying to free nonexistent resource <0000000000000295-0000000000000296>

If the platform driver is unregistered first, the problem doesn't
occur, as the driver will have the opportunity to release the
resources it had requested before the device resources themselves are
released. It's a bit odd that unregistering the driver first or the
device first doesn't lead to the same result.

So I believe that we should delete the device first in
platform_device_del(). I've searched the git history and found that it
used to be the case before 2.6.8, but was changed here:

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/old-2.6-bkcvs.git;a=commitdiff;h=96ef7b3689936ee1e64b711511342026a8ce459c

> Driver core: platform_device_unregister should release resources first

>              are no more references to the device it will be freed and
>              the fucntion will try to access freed memory.  

However we now have an explicit call to put_device() at the end of
platform_device_unregister() so I guess the original problem no longer
exists and it is safe to revert that change.

David Brownell c67334fbdf Driver core: platform_driver_probe(), can save codespace
This defines a new platform_driver_probe() method allowing the driver's
probe() method, and its support code+data, to safely live in __init
sections for typical system configurations.

Many system-on-chip processors could benefit from this API, to the tune
of recovering hundreds to thousands of bytes per driver.  That's memory
which is currently wasted holding code which can never be called after
system startup, yet can not be removed.   It can't be removed because of
the linkage requirement that pointers to init section code (like, ideally,
probe support) must not live in other sections (like driver method tables)
after those pointers would be invalid.

There are cases in which a device's memory mapped registers overlap

devices this occurs for the MDIO bus, whose registers tended to overlap

the MDIO bus as a proper platform device and not hack around how we

Tim Schmielau 4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h

by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

Ben Dooks a1bdc7aad8 [PATCH] drivers/base - fix sparse warnings
There are a number of sparse warnings from the latest sparse
snapshot being generated from the drivers/base build. The
main culprits are due to the initialisation functions not
being declared in a header file.

Also, the firmware.c file should include <linux/device.h>
to get the prototype of  firmware_register() and
firmware_unregister().

This patch moves the init function declerations from the
init.c file to the base.h, and ensures it is included in
all the relevant c sources. It also adds <linux/device.h>
to the included headers for firmware.c.

The patch does not solve all the sparse errors generated,
but reduces the count significantly.

Robert Schwebel 46ea0d6c26 [PATCH] export platform_add_devices
platform_add_devices can be used from within modules, so it should be
exported.  This can for example happen if you have hotpluggable firmware in
an FPGA on a system on chip processor; in our case the FPGA is probed for
devices and the FPGA base code registers the devices it has found with the
kernel.  

(akpm: I think this is reasonable from a licensing POV: it's unlikely that
anyone would be interested in merging such specialised modules into mainline,
and it's a GPL export).

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
