      [PATCH] Set the vga cursor even when hidden · 88dcb6c4
      Samuel Thibault authored 
      Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.

Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the
cursor while still moving it.

Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies
asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too.

      [DRIVER MODEL] Fix sgivwfb · 2c119aa8
      Russell King authored 
      Statically allocated devices in module data is a potential cause
of oopsen.  The device may be in use by a userspace process, which
will keep a reference to the device.  If the module is unloaded,
the module data will be freed.  Subsequent use of the platform
device will cause a kernel oops.

Use generic platform device allocation/release code in modules.

      Release code in driver modules is a potential cause of oopsen.
The device may be in use by a userspace process, which will keep
a reference to the device.  If the module is unloaded, the module
text will be freed.  Subsequently, when the last reference is
dropped, the release code will be called, which no longer exists.

      [DRIVER MODEL] Improved dynamically allocated platform_device interface · 37c12e74
      Russell King authored 
      Re-jig the simple platform device support to allow private data
to be attached to a platform device, as well as allowing the
parent device to be set.

Example usage:

	pdev = platform_device_alloc("mydev", id);
	if (pdev) {
		err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, &resources,
						    ARRAY_SIZE(resources));
		if (err == 0)
			err = platform_device_add_data(pdev, &platform_data,
						       sizeof(platform_data));
		if (err == 0)
			err = platform_device_add(pdev);
	} else {
		err = -ENOMEM;
	}
	if (err)
		platform_device_put(pdev);
