      [PATCH] Status Query On My MCT-U232 Patch · 53f87a8f
      Bill Marr authored
      Brief Patch Description:
      
      Fix a problem in the 'mct_u232' driver whereby output data gets held up in the
      USB/RS-232 adapter for RS-232 devices which don't assert the 'CTS' signal.
      
      Background:
      
      The Belkin F5U109 is a 9-pin USB/RS-232 adapter that is supported by the
      existing 'mct_u232' kernel module.  Recently, I've been testing it under the
      2.4.22 (Slackware 9.1) kernel and the 2.6.0-test9 kernel.
      
      I've connected a Garmin 'GPS35 TracPak' GPS receiver (RS-232 interface) and an
      ordinary RS-232 external modem to my PC's USB port via the Belkin F5U109
      adapter.
      
      Problem:
      
      Although _reads_ from either of the RS-232 devices mentioned above work fine
      via the Belkin adapter, _writes_ to the GPS receiver are not being seen by
      the GPS.  Writes to the modem, however, work perfectly.
      
      Aside: The 'Linux USB Users' archives show that at least one other person
      (circa May 2002) had the exact same problem I'm having, but it sounds like no
      solution was ever determined because the person in question just bought a
      different USB/RS-232 adapter.
      
      Investigation:
      
      Using the 'seyon' terminal emulator in Linux and a crude hardware RS-232
      "breakout box" that I hacked together, I've determined that the problem is
      related to the RTS/CTS RS-232 hardware handshaking.
      
      After further investigation, I've concluded that RS-232 devices which do not
      assert the 'Clear To Send' ('CTS') signal prevent the Belkin F5U109 adapter
      from transmitting data to the RS-232 device when the current (version 1.1)
      'mct_u232' module is used. The data gets "queued up" (up to a point -- 16
      bytes, I think) in the adapter but never transmitted.
      
      Since this GPS receiver works perfectly (reads and writes) when connected to a
      PC running W98se using the same Belkin adapter and the Belkin-supplied
      Windows driver, the Linux driver became suspect.
      
      After some testing with SniffUSB, I found that the Windows driver sends a
      couple of unique undocumented USB 'device requests' that the Linux driver
      does not. As it turns out, the second of those 2 requests is critical in
      making the adapter transmit data to a device which doesn't assert 'CTS'.
      
      For completeness, the Windows driver in use was determined from the 'Device
      Manager', 'Driver File Details' page:
      
         U2SPORT.VXD
         Provider: Magic Control Technology
         File version: 1.21P.0104 for Win98/Me
      
      Solution:
      
      My patch adds the 2 missing USB 'device request' commands right after a
      baud-change command. This mimics the operation of the W98 driver.
      
      Unfortunately, after much testing, I found no other operation (besides a
      baud-change request) under Windows that triggers either of these 2 'device
      request' commands. This makes it impossible to fully document the behavior of
      these requests, but I've made entries for them alongside the others in the
      'mct_u232.h' file.
      
      Purely for clarity, the patch also modifies various comments in 'mct_u232.h',
      mostly to reflect proper sizes of the various 'USB Device Request' fields per
      the USB 1.1 specification.
      
      The patch also updates the version number of the driver, corrects a minor
      typographical error, and documents a difference in the length of the data in
      a 'baud rate change' command for certain adapters which use a coded baud-rate
      rather than the conventional RS-232 baud rate divisor.
      
      I've provided (tested) patches for both the 2.4.22 and the 2.6.0-test9
      kernels.
      
      Please note that the changes to 'mct_u232.h' apply to both 2.4.22 and
      2.6.0-test9 since that file has not changed between those kernel releases.
      Nevertheless, I've included that (same) portion of the patch in both
      attachments for simplicity.

      Remove Synaptics config option.  Since mousedev was fixed with regard to
      touchpads generating absolute events there should no troubles for users
      migrating from older kernel or different hardware so we can have it always
      compiled in.

      - Do not close/open serio port in psmouse_reconnect since i8042
        should restore ports to the proper state before calling reconnect

      [PATCH] Fixes for keyboard 2.4 compatibility · 46716383
      Vojtech Pavlik authored
      I have two patches I'd like to get tested by a wider audience before
      sending them to Linus for the 2.6 tree.
      
      The first one fixes an issue in current 2.6-test with AT keyboard repeat
      rate setting, the second one makes setkeycodes/getkeycodes work the same
      as 2.4, so that people can keep their setups. It also fixes japanese and
      korean key handling.

      I just want to share a little change that I've did to psmouse_pm_callback()

      [PATCH] Input: unregister i8042 port when writing to control register fails · 39e00ca1
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      I think that if we can't write to the control register it's not less critical
      than not having a free IRQ so we better unregister port in this case as well.
      
      Also logging moved a bit.

      [PATCH] Synaptics: use serio_reconnect · 2b07066d
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      Input/Synaptics:
        1. Support for pass-through port moved from Synaptics driver to psmouse
           itself, it is cleaner and should allow using it in other drivers if
           needed.
        2. The driver makes use of new reconnect functionality in serio. It will
           try to keep the same input device after resume or when it resets itself.
        3. If mouse is disconnected or other mouse plugged in while sleeping the
           driver should correctly recognize that and create a new serio/input 
           device.

      [PATCH] Add black list to handler<->device matching · 35028d96
      Dmitry Torokhov authored
      Input: Introduce an optional blacklist field in input_handler structure.
             When loading a new device or a new handler try to match device
             against handler's black list before doing match on required 
             attributes.
             This allows to get rid of "surprises" in connect functions, IMO
             connect should only fail when it physically can not connect, not
             because it decides it does not like device.

      Input: There is a possibility that serio might get deleted while there
