Do not use MX2_CAMERA_SWAP16 and MX2_CAMERA_PACK_DIR_MSB flags. The driver must negotiate with the attached sensor whether the mbus format is UYUV or YUYV and set CSICR1 configuration accordingly. This is needed for the video function on mach-imx27_visstrim_m10.c to perform properly, since an earlier version of this patch has been proven wrong and has been reverted and a commit, depending on it: "[media] i.MX27: visstrim_m10: Remove use of MX2_CAMERA_SWAP16" is in the mainline.

Quite a few ASUS computers experience a nasty problem, related to the EHCI controllers, when going into system suspend. It was observed that the problem didn't occur if the controllers were not put into the D3 power state before starting the suspend, and commit 151b6128 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during suspend on ASUS computers) was created to do this. It turned out this approach messed up other computers that didn't have the problem -- it prevented USB wakeup from working. Consequently commit c2fb8a3f (USB: add NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b6128) was merged; it reverted the earlier commit and added a whitelist of known good board names. Now we know the actual cause of the problem. Thanks to AceLan Kao for tracking it down. According to him, an engineer at ASUS explained that some of their BIOSes contain a bug that was added in an attempt to work around a problem in early versions of Windows. When the computer goes into S3 suspend, the BIOS tries to verify that the EHCI controllers were first quiesced by the OS. Nothing's wrong with this, but the BIOS does it by checking that the PCI COMMAND registers contain 0 without checking the controllers' power state. If the register isn't 0, the BIOS assumes the controller needs to be quiesced and tries to do so. This involves making various MMIO accesses to the controller, which don't work very well if the controller is already in D3. The end result is a system hang or memory corruption. Since the value in the PCI COMMAND register doesn't matter once the controller has been suspended, and since the value will be restored anyway when the controller is resumed, we can work around the BIOS bug simply by setting the register to 0 during system suspend. This patch (as1590) does so and also reverts the second commit mentioned above, which is now unnecessary. In theory we could do this for every PCI device. However to avoid introducing new problems, the patch restricts itself to EHCI host controllers. Finally the affected systems can suspend with USB wakeup working properly.

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead). We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause things to go very wrong later on. This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7 "bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers about how the low power state actually works on them.

The EHCI driver is not stable enough to be enabled by default. In v3.5, it has at least the following problems: - warning dump during bootup - hang during suspend - prevents CORE powerdomain from entering retention during idle (even when no USB devices connected.) This demonstrates that this driver has not been thoroughly tested and therfore should not be enabled in the default defconfig. In addition, the problems above cause new PM regressions which need be addressed before this driver should be enabled in the default defconfig.

Since ee7cd898 'virtio: expose added descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick. I audited both and this seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API. Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is racy. While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one (mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo: "The previous cgroup pull request contained a patch to fix a race condition during cgroup hierarchy umount. Unfortunately, while the patch reduced the race window such that the test case I and Sasha were using didn't trigger it anymore, it wasn't complete - Shyju and Li could reliably trigger the race condition using a different test case. The problem wasn't the gap between dentry deletion and release which the previous patch tried to fix. The window was between the last dput() of a root's child and the resulting dput() of the root. For cgroup dentries, the deletion and release always happen synchronously. As this releases the s_active ref, the refcnt of the root dentry, which doesn't hold s_active, stays above zero without the corresponding s_active. If umount was in progress, the last deactivate_super() proceeds to destory the superblock and triggers BUG() on the non-zero root dentry refcnt after shrinking. This issue surfaced because cgroup dentries are now allowed to linger after rmdir(2) since 3.5-rc1. Before, rmdir synchronously drained the dentry refcnt and the s_active acquired by rmdir from vfs layer protected the whole thing. After 3.5-rc1, cgroup may internally hold and put dentry refs after rmdir finishes and the delayed dput() doesn't have surrounding s_active ref exposing this issue. This pull request contains two patches - one reverting the previous incorrect fix and the other adding the surrounding s_active ref around the delayed dput(). This is quite late in the release cycle but the change is on the safer side and fixes the test cases reliably, so I don't think it's too crazy." * 'for-3.5-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: cgroup: fix cgroup hierarchy umount race Revert "cgroup: superblock can't be released with active dentries"

The netdev->base_addr parameter has been deprecated in the L2 bnx2 driver. This is used by bnx2i for the BARn iomapping. This patch will directly reference the pci_resource_start instead of using the deprecated netdev->base_addr. This patch is actually a critical bug fix as the 1G bnx2 driver no longer supports the netdev->base_addr in the current kernel of the scsi tree. This means that Broadcom's 1G Linux iSCSI offload solution would not work at all without this patch.

fill_result_tf() grabs the taskfile flags from the originating qc which sas_ata_qc_fill_rtf() promptly overwrites. The presence of an ata_taskfile in the sata_device makes it tempting to just copy the full contents in sas_ata_qc_fill_rtf(). However, libata really only wants the fis contents and expects the other portions of the taskfile to not be touched by ->qc_fill_rtf. To that end store a fis buffer in the sata_device and use ata_tf_from_fis() like every other ->qc_fill_rtf() implementation.
