981fc1b4b8 sfc: Rename efx_board::init_leds to init_phy and use for SFN4111T
efx_board::init_leds was introduced as a second stage of
initialisation because of the inter-dependency between the board and
PHY.  We want to move board initialisation into NIC probing, which is
too early to use MDIO, so SFN4111T initialisation also needs to be

398468ed1b sfc: Use a single blink implementation
Only some PHYs have firmware support for a LED blink mode, so we
currently blink the others in a timer function.  Since all PHYs have
simple on and off modes, we don't gain anything by using multiple
blink implementations.  Also, since we have a process context there
is no need to use a timer.

d77b819745 [CPUFREQ] Enable ACPI PDC handshake for VIA/Centaur CPUs
In commit 0de51088e6, we introduced the
use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for
VENDOR_INTEL.  However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also
need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to
activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq.

Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for
Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's.  The resulting behavior
of a current mainline kernel on such systems is:  acpi-cpufreq
loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes.  However, the CPU stays at
a single frequency

This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and
VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.

5349ef3127 drm/fb: fix FBIOGET/PUT_VSCREENINFO pixel clock handling
When the framebuffer driver does not publish detailed timing information
for the current video mode, the correct value for the pixclock field is
zero, not -1.

Since pixclock is actually unsigned, the value -1 would be interpreted
as 4294967295 picoseconds (i.e., about 4 milliseconds) by
register_framebuffer() and userspace programs.

This patch allows X.org's fbdev driver to work.

79cc304f3e drm: make sure page protections are updated after changing vm_flags
Some architectures compute ->vm_page_prot depending on ->vm_flags, so we
need to update the protections after adjusting the flags.

AFAIK this only affects running X under Xen; without this patch you get
lots of coloured blobs on the screen, or maybe a complete lockup.  Or
anything really.

But that still depends on lots of out-of-tree stuff, so I don't think
there are any consequences for anyone else.  But it is wrong in principle.

a698cf34ea drm: mm always protect change to unused_nodes with unused_lock spinlock
unused_nodes modification needs to be protected by unused_lock spinlock.
Here is an example of an usage where there is no such protection without
this patch.

  Process 1: 1-drm_mm_pre_get(this function modify unused_nodes list)
             2-spin_lock(spinlock protecting mm struct)
             3-drm_mm_put_block(this function might modify unused_nodes
               list but doesn't protect modification with unused_lock)
             4-spin_unlock(spinlock protecting mm struct)
  Process2:  1-drm_mm_pre_get(this function modify unused_nodes list)
At this point Process1 & Process2 might both be doing modification to
unused_nodes list. This patch add unused_lock protection into
drm_mm_put_block to avoid such issue.

23115b0592 drm/radeon/kms: read back register before writing in IIO.
This fixes RH bugzilla #527874.

On resume the atom posting wasn't working, however vbe posting was
going fine, after 2 weeks over irc, and 8 hrs with the hardware,
I tracked it down to the memory device table and it access the MC
registers via IIO, it appears the rv515 atom iio table might not
be fully functional, so adding a readback before doing a write
either provides enough delay to make things resume correctly.

0ebf17174b drm/radeon/kms: resume AGP by calling init.
AGP resume was broken since we moved to the new init path,
because we never re-enabled AGP on these systems at resume time.

This patch just calls the AGP resume call which just does the reinit
at resume time like the old path did.

Since AGP is pretty much gpu independant I did it outside
the gpu specific code.

bffbc94a4d sparc64: Fix definition of VMEMMAP_SIZE.
This was the cause of various boot failures on V480, V880, etc.
systems.

Kernel image memory was being overwritten because the vmemmap[]
array was being sized to small.  So if you had physical memory
addresses past a certain point, the early bootup would spam
all over variables in the kernel data section.

The vmemmap mappings map page structs, not page struct pointers.
And that was the key thinko in the macro definition.

This was fixable thanks to the help, reports, and tireless patience
of Hermann Lauer.

is enabled, and then dump the entire event buffer to syslog.

Setting "Spatial multiplexing Power Save" as part of
per device configuration parameter.

Report to uCode based on priv->conf setting, so driver can
have more control of how different devices should operate
in power save mode.

d5f4cf71f7 iwlwifi: control led while update tx/rx bytes counts
LED blinking rate is based on tx/rx traffic, the most reasonable place
to do it is after update the traffic byte counts

This fixes the recent LED blinking breakage on 3945 introduced by "iwlwifi:
separate led function from statistic notification"

74ba67edfc iwlagn: Use iwl_write8() for CSR_INT_COALESCING register
CSR_INT_COALESCING previously had only one, but now has two single-byte fields.
With only one single-byte field (lowest order byte) it was okay to write via
iwl_write32(), but now with two, an iwl_write32() to the lower order field
clobbers the other field (odd-address CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG, offset 0x5), and an
iwl_write32() to CSR_INT_PERIODIC_REG could clobber the lowest byte of the
next-higher register (CSR_INT, offset 0x8).

Fortunately, no bad side effects have been produced by the iwl_write32()
usage, due to order of execution (low order byte was always written before
higher order byte), and the fact that writing "0" to the low byte of the
next higher register has no effect (only action is when writing "1"s).

Nonetheless, this cleans up the accesses so no bad side effects might occur
in the future, if execution order changes, or more bit fields get added to
CSR_INT_COALESCING.

Add some comments regarding periodic interrupt usage.
