<title>kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT</title>

<content type='text'>
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

<title>[media] hdpvr: reduce latency of i2c read/write w/recycled buffer</title>

The current hdpvr code kmalloc's a new buffer for every i2c read and
write. Rather than do that, lets allocate a buffer in the driver's
device struct and just use that every time.

The size I've chosen for the buffer is the maximum size I could
ascertain might be used by either ir-kbd-i2c or lirc_zilog, plus a bit
of padding (lirc_zilog may use up to 100 bytes on tx, rounded that up
to 128).

Note that this might also remedy user reports of very sluggish behavior
of IR receive with hdpvr hardware.

v2: make sure (len &lt;= (dev-&gt;i2c_buf)) [Jean Delvare]

<id>324b04ba5da7918a2409f8113e46843bfbd89e67</id>
<content type='text'>
A number of things going on here, but the end result is that the IR part
on the hdpvr gets enabled, and can be used with ir-kbd-i2c and/or
lirc_zilog.

First up, there are some conditional build fixes that come into play
whether i2c is built-in or modular. Second, we're swapping out
i2c_new_probed_device() for i2c_new_device(), as in my testing, probing
always fails, but we *know* that all hdpvr devices have a z8 chip at
0x70 and 0x71. Third, we're poking at an i2c address directly without a
client, and writing some magic bits to actually turn on this IR part
(this could use some improvement in the future). Fourth, some of the
i2c_adapter storage has been reworked, as the existing implementation
used to lead to an oops following i2c changes c. 2.6.31.

Earlier editions of this patch have been floating around the 'net for a
while, including being patched into Fedora kernels, and they *do* work.
This specific version isn't yet tested, beyond loading ir-kbd-i2c and
confirming that it does bind to the RX address of the hdpvr.

Fixes an egregious bug in mceusb driver, where the receiver was being
put into idle mode far sooner than it should have, thanks to storing a
timeout value that in us where it should be ns. Basically, the receiver
kept going into idle mode before a trailing space had been fully
received, which was causing problems for some protocols, most notably
manifesting as lirc userspace never receiving a trailing space for any
rc5 signals.

Fix a bug in v4l2_device_unregister where the sd pointer can be dereferenced
after it was freed.

Normally the i2c adapter is removed before this function is called. Removing
the adapter will also unregister all subdevs on that adapter, so generally
v4l2_device_unregister has nothing to do. However, in the case of a platform
i2c bus that bus is generally not freed.

In that case, after freeing the i2c subdevice the code will fall into the
second block when it tests if the subdev is a SPI device. But by that time
the subdev is already freed and the kernel oopses.

The fix is trivial: continue with the loop after freeing the i2c or spi
subdevice.

Zeroing video_device.dev causes a memory leak if video_set_drvdata
was called before video_register_device was called. video_set_drvdata
calls dev_set_drvdata which allocates video_device.dev.p.

memsetting this will prevent freeing of that memory.

v4l2_queryctrl sets the step value based on the control type. That would
be fine if it used the control type stored in the V4L2 kernel control
