d06193f311 rt2x00: Disable link tuning in rt2500usb
In the legacy rt2570 driver the link tuner was never
really called. And now the reason has finally become
apparent: It breaks TX capabilities

As soon as the device has been associated all following
TX frames will be queued in the hardware and never transmitted
to the air. Disabling sections of the link tuner did not
have the expected result, but completely disabling the
link tuner did have the right result (Both of my rt2570 devices
came back to life).

This should fix Fedora bug: 411481

5cbbb376d6 iwlwifi: Don't use buffer allocated on the stack for led names
Having the buffer on the stack and even re-using it for all led devices is bad.
Not being able to resolve the name member of the led device structure to a
meaningful value leads to confusion during ad-hoc debugging and potential
breakage in the future, if we ever decide to access the name member outside of
the registration function. Move the buffer to our private per led device
structures so that it is accessible after registration.

A quick grep didn't yield any occurence of using the led device name parameter
outside of the led device registration function, so currently we should already
be safe for normal operation.

be43324d8b RDMA/cxgb3: Fix deadlock initializing iw_cxgb3 device
Running 'ifconfig up' on the cxgb3 interface with iw_cxgb3 loaded
causes a deadlock.  The rtnl lock is already held in this path.  The
function fw_supports_fastreg() was introduced in 2.6.27 to
conditionally set the IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS bit iff the
firmware was at 7.0 or greater, and this function also acquires the
rtnl lock and which thus causes a deadlock.  Further, if iw_cxgb3 is
loaded _after_ the nic interface is brought up, then the deadlock does
not occur and therefore fw_supports_fastreg() does need to grab the
rtnl lock in that path.

It turns out this code is all useless anyway.  The low level driver
will NOT allow the open if the firmware isn't 7.0, so iw_cxgb3 can
always set the MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS bit.  Simplify...

8401d92ba4 firewire: Preserve response data alignment bug when it is harmless
Recently, a bug having to do with the alignment of transaction response
data was fixed.  However, some apps such as libdc1394 relied on the
presence of that bug in order to function correctly.  In order to stay
compatible with old versions of those apps, this patch preserves the bug
in cases where it is harmless to normal operation (such as the single
quadlet read) due to a simple duplication of data.  This guarantees
maximum compatability for those users who are using the old app with the
fixed kernel.

make[3]: *** [drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.o] Error 1

Fix it by putting the block device lookup inside #ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK

3ab36ab685 try harder to load tty ldisc driver
Currently function tty_ldisc_get() tries to load an ldisc driver module
only when tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EAGAIN. This happens only if
module is being unloaded. If ldisc module is not loaded
tty_ldisc_try_get() returns -EINVAL and this case is not handled in
tty_ldisc_get(), so request_module() is not called.

Attached patch fixes this by calling request_module() if
tty_ldisc_try_get() returned any error code.

I discovered this when my UMTS modem stopped working with 2.6.27-rc1
because module ppp_async was not loaded.
