Jean Delvare 92b4294612 [PATCH] i2c: Chip driver porting guide update
Update Documentation/i2c/porting-clients. Many recent changes to the i2c
and hwmon subsystems were never reported there.

Jean Delvare cf02df7702 [PATCH] i2c: Rework client usage count, 3 of 3
Do not limit the usage count of i2c clients to 1. In other words,
change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE
to the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_USE. The rationale is that no
driver actually needs the limiting behavior, and the unlimiting
behavior is slightly easier to implement.

Update the documentation to reflect this change.

Jean Delvare 8a9947552d [PATCH] i2c: Drop i2c_driver.flags, 2 of 3
Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we
can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really
doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver
can simply omit to set .attach_adapter. This approach is also more
robust as it prevents accidental NULL pointer dereferences.

Dominik Brodowski f8cfa618dc [PATCH] pcmcia: unify attach, EVENT_CARD_INSERTION handlers into one probe callback
Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified
probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new
callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a
probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device
*p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly.

With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers
now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses:

        int (*probe)            (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
        void (*remove)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

        int (*suspend)          (struct pcmcia_device *dev);
        int (*resume)           (struct pcmcia_device *dev);

Move the suspend and resume methods out of the event handler, and into

almost all drivers already do, and the remaining ones can easily be
converted.

(The original patch is here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2
and my only contribution is to have tested it.)

This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP
fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling
fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

Jesse Barnes 2bd0fa3b62 [PATCH] add boot option to control Intel SATA/PATA combined mode
Combined mode sucks.  Especially when both libata and the legacy IDE
drivers try to drive ports on the same device, since that makes DMA
rather difficult.

This patch addresses the problem by allowing the user to control which
driver binds to the ports in a combined mode configuration.  In many
cases, they'll probably want the libata driver to control both ports
since it can use DMA for talking with ATAPI devices (when
libata.atapi_enabled=1 of course).  It also allows the user to get old
school behavior by letting the legacy IDE driver bind to both ports.
But neither is forced, the patch doesn't change current behavior unless
one of combined_mode=ide or combined_mode=libata is passed
on the boot line.  Either of those options may require you to access
your devices via different device nodes (/dev/hd* in the ide case
and /dev/sd* in the libata case), though of course if you have udev
installed nicely you may not notice anything.  :)

Let me know if the documentation is too cryptic, I'd be happy to expand
on it if necessary.  I think most users will want to boot with
'combined_mode=libata' and add 'options libata atapi_enabled=1'
to their modules.conf to get good DVD playing and disk behavior
(haven't tested CD or DVD writing though).

I'd much rather things behave sanely by default (i.e. DMA for devices on
both ports), but apparently that's difficult given the various chip
bugs and hardware configs out there (not to mention that people's
drives may suddenly change from /dev/hdc to /dev/sdb), so this boot
option may be the correct long term fix.
