2009-02-05hpilo: open/close fixDavid Altobelli
The device can take a while to respond to an open/close request, so increase the time kernel will wait for response (1 ms to 10ms). Also, properly clean up a channel on a failed open, by calling the channel close routine. Just freeing the memory isn't sufficient, the device needs to be informed that the channel is no longer open, and the device memory cleared of references to freed dma buffer.

2009-01-15sgi-xp: eliminate false detection of no heartbeatDean Nelson
After XPC has been up and running on multiple partitions for any length of time, if XPC on one of the partitions is stopped and restarted (either by a rmmod/insmod or a system restart), it is possible for the XPCs running on the other partitions to falsely detect a lack of heartbeat from the XPC that was just restarted. This false detection will occur if the restarted XPC comes up within the five-seconds preceding one of the other XPC's heartbeat check (which occurs once every twenty seconds). The detection of no heartbeat results in the detecting XPC deactivating from the just restarted XPC. The only remedy is to restart one of the XPCs and hope that one doesn't hit this five-second window on any of the other partitions.

2009-01-09fujitsu-laptop: Simplify SBLL/SBL2 backlight handlingTony Vroon
GBLS and GBLL only differ in the clearing of the GHKS flag, so there is no need to have two backlight level readouts. Also, per Peter Gruber, the need for the BLNF check has disappeared. As a result, cleanups can be made in the code. This has been tested on the both the S6410 and the S6420 platforms and causes no functionality regressions, on the console without X or within X. One module parameter to disable the hotkeys is dropped, as we only ever took one codepath anyway.

2009-01-09fujitsu-laptop: Add BL power, LED control and radio state informationTony Vroon
The FUNC interface in the Fujitsu-Siemens DSDT was unused until now. It exposes state information that is now reported in additional platform files (whether the radios are killed by the hardware switch or operational, whether the machine is docked and whether the lid is open). Support for the backlight class is now extended with the ability to power the backlight on & off. Optional support for the LED class allows the keyboard headlamps found on the U810 netbook and the Fujitsu logo illumination on the P8010 notebook to be turned on & off. This was fed through checkpatch.pl and tested on the S6420, P8010 & U810 platforms.
