These functions allow the driver core to automatically clean up any
allocation made by lcd drivers.  Thus it simplifies the error paths.

<title>drivers: avoid format string in dev_set_name</title>

Calling dev_set_name with a single paramter causes it to be handled as a
format string.  Many callers are passing potentially dynamic string
content, so use "%s" in those cases to avoid any potential accidents,
including wrappers like device_create*() and bdi_register().

Previously, when ops functions cannot be called, lcd_show_contrast() and
lcd_store_contrast() returned 0, instead of ENXIO.

Thus, in this case, a local variable 'rc' for return value should be
initialized as ENXIO, after kstrtoul() is called.

<title>lcd: add callbacks for early fb event blank support</title>

<id>d54ad83f3d56228a42e1021b97fc52bfbad7d560</id>
<content type='text'>
This patchset adds early fb blank feature that a callback of lcd panel
driver is called prior to specific fb driver's one.  In the case of
MIPI-DSI based video mode LCD Panel, for lcd power off, the power off
commands should be transferred to lcd panel with display and mipi-dsi
controller enabled because the commands is set to lcd panel at vsync porch
period.  and in opposite case, the callback of fb driver should be called
prior to lcd panel driver's one because of same issue.  Also if fb_blank
mode is changed to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN then display controller would be
off(clock disable) but lcd panel would be still on.  at this time, you
could see some issue like sparkling on lcd panel because video clock to be
delivered to ldi module of lcd panel was disabled.  this issue could
occurs for all lcd panels.

The callback order is as the following:

at fb_blank function of fbmem.c
-&gt; fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK)
       -&gt; lcd panel driver's early_set_power()
-&gt; info-&gt;fbops-&gt;fb_blank()
       -&gt; spcefic fb driver's fb_blank()
-&gt; fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_BLANK)
       -&gt; lcd panel driver's set_power()
   -&gt; fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) if
info-&gt;fops-&gt;fb_blank() was failed.

fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) would be called to revert
the effects of previous FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK call.  and note that if
early_set_power() of lcd_ops is NULL then early fb blank callback would be
ignored.

This patch:

Add early_set_power and r_early_set_power callbacks.  early_set_power
callback is called prior to fb_blank() of fbmem.c and r_early_set_power
callback is called if fb_blank() was failed to revert the effects of the
early_set_power call of lcd panel driver.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

<title>tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function</title>

<id>e7d2860b690d4f3bed6824757c540579638e3d1e</id>
<content type='text'>
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str &amp;&amp; isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,

Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str &amp;&amp; isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

Which is why I have always preferred sizeof(struct foo) over
sizeof(var).

fb_notifier_call_chain() is called with info-&gt;lock held, i.e.  in
do_fb_ioctl() =&gt; FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO =&gt; fb_set_var() and the some
notifier callbacks, like fbcon_event_notify(), try to re-acquire
info-&gt;lock again.

Remove the lock/unlock_fb_info() in all the framebuffer notifier
callbacks' and be sure to always call fb_notifier_call_chain() with
info-&gt;lock held.
