[PATCH] backlight last round of fixes

2006-09-01T18:39:10+00:00

Fix some more problems (inverted use of semaphores in some places).  He
also moved my checks into within the protected section which is better.

[PATCH] sgiioc4: fixup use of mmio ops

2006-09-01T18:39:10+00:00

Fix some bugs in the patch that converted the IOC4 driver from port IO ops to
memio ops.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=114895892231438&w=2

  Problems fixed are:
   - Call to default_hwif_mmiops() was not being done until _after_
     first IO operation, resulting in the first IO operation being
     done as a port IO op, instead of memio.
   - request_region() calls needed to be request_mem_region()
   - Incomplete error case handling.
   - Non-usage of ioremap() and __iomem.

[PATCH] powerpc: More via-pmu backlight fixes

2006-09-01T18:39:09+00:00

The via-pmu backlight code (introduced in 2.6.18) has various design issues
causing crashes on machines using it like the old Wallstreet powerbook
(Michael, the author, never managed to test on these and I just got my hand
on one of those old beasts).

This fixes them by no longer trying to hijack the backlight device of the
frontmost framebuffer (causing that framebuffer to crash) but having it's
own local bits instead.  Might look weird but it's better that way on those
old machines, at least as a last-minute fix for 2.6.18.  We might rework
the whole thing later.  This patch also changes the way it gets notified of
sleep and wakeup in order to properly shut the backlight down on sleep and
bring it back on wakeup.

[PATCH] IPMI: fix occasional oops on module unload

2006-09-01T18:39:09+00:00

Olaf Kirch of SuSE tracked down a problem where module unloads of the IPMI
driver would occasionally result in Oopses.  He tracked that down to a
variable that wasn't always initialized properly in some situations.  This
patch initializes that variable.  Olaf sent a patch that kzalloc-ed the
data, but this structure is large enough that I would perfer to not do
that.  Thanks Olaf!

[PATCH] exit early in floppy_init when no floppy exists

2006-09-01T18:39:08+00:00

modprobe -v floppy on a Apple G5 writes incorrect stuff to dmesg:

Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M

The reason is that the legacy io check happens very late,
when part of the floppy stuff is already initialized.
check_legacy_ioport() returns either -ENODEV right away, or it walks
the device-tree looking for a floppy node.

[PATCH] synclink_gt: fix receive tty error handling

2006-09-01T18:39:08+00:00

Fix receive tty error handling in synclink_gt driver.  Adrian reported
compiler warning for incorrect bit test against char variable.  I
determined these and other device specific error bits were incorrectly
defined.

[PATCH] md: Fix issues with referencing rdev in md/raid1

2006-09-01T18:39:08+00:00

We need to be careful when referencing mirrors[i].rdev.  It can disappear
under us at various times.

So:
  fix a couple of problem places.
  comment a couple of non-problem places
  move an 'atomic_add' which deferences rdev down a little
    way to some where where it is sure to not be NULL.
