| Abandon gcc-2.95.x | Andrew Morton | 3 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 37 deletions(-) |
| There's one scsi driver which doesn't compile due to weird __VA_ARGS__ tricks and the rather useful scsi/sd.c is currently getting an ICE. None of the new SAS code compiles, due to extensive use of anonymous unions. The V4L guys are very good at exploiting the gcc-2.95.x macro expansion bug (_why_ does each driver need to implement its own debug macros?) and various people keep on sneaking in anonymous unions. Plus anonymous unions are rather useful. |

| acpi: fix asus_acpi on Samsung P30/P35 | Hanno Bock | 1 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) |
| For a while now asus_acpi is broken on samsung laptops (causes oopses on module loading and kernel panic if compiled into the kernel). The attached Patch (by Christian Aichinger, so credits to him) fixes this. |

| Add basic PM support for Nvidia and ATI AGP bridges | Matthew Garrett | 2 files changed, 60 insertions(+) |
| I retrieved these from the swsusp2 patchset, but they seem to be independently useful. As a result, I'm not sure who the original author is - however, they seem to be pretty obvious. | ||
| ads7846 driver (SPI framework) | David Brownell | 4 files changed, 652 insertions(+) |
| This is a driver for the ADS7846 touchscreen sensor, derived from the corgi_ts and omap_ts drivers. Key differences from those two: - Uses the new SPI framework (minimalist version) -<linux/spi/ads7846.h> abstracts board-specific touchscreen info - Sysfs attributes for the temperature and voltage sensors - Uses fewer ARM-specific IRQ primitives So far only basic testing has been done. There's a fair amount of hardware that uses this sensor, and which also runs Linux, which should eventually be able to use this driver. One portability note may be of special interest. It turns out that not all SPI controllers are happy issuing requests that do things like "write 8 bitcommand, read 12 bit response". Most of them seem happy to handle various word sizes, so the issue isn't "12 bit response" but rather "different rx and tx write sizes", despite that being a common MicroWire convention. So this version of the driver no longer reads 12 bit native-endian words; it reads 16-bit big-endian responses, then byteswaps them and shifts the results to discard the noise. |

| fbdev: fixed and updated CyblaFB | Knut Petersen | 6 files changed, 328 insertions(+), 169 deletions(-) |
| With kernel 2.6.15-rc5-git3 all patches needed by this new version of cyblafb reached the main line kernel. So here it is. Main advantages: ============ - vxres > xres support - ywrap support - much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25 full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000) - module init/exit code fixed - bugs triggered by console rotation fixed - lots of minor improvements - startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling in all directions |

| Fix USB suspend/resume crasher | Benjamin Herrenschmidt | 9 files changed, 127 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) |
| This is my latest patch against current linus -git, it closes the IRQ race and makes various other OHCI & EHCI code path safer vs. suspend/resume. I've been able to (finally !) successfully suspend and resume various Mac models, with or without USB mouse plugged, or plugging while asleep, or
unplugging while asleep etc... all without a crash. There are still some races here or there in the USB code, but at least the main cause of crash is now fixes by this patch (access to a controller that has been suspended, due to either shared interrupts or other code path). Without this patch, you cannot reliably sleep/wakeup any recent Mac, and I suspect PCs have some more sneaky issues too (they don't frankly crash with machine checks because x86 tend to silently swallow PCI errors but that won't last afaik, at least PCI Express will blow up in those situations, but the USB code may still misbehave). |

| i386: CS5535 chip support - GPIO | Ben Gardner | 3 files changed, 219 insertions(+) |
| i386-support-for-the-geode-cs5535-companion-chip.patch: Add initial support for the AMD CS5535 Geode companion chip. Specifically, it works with the DIVIL (Diverse Integration Logic) block. Access to the DIVIL is done via MSRs. This patch does the following: - verifies that the DIVIL is present - retrieves and reserves the SMB (Access.Bus) IO range - retrieves and reserves the GPIO IO range - enables SMB - enables UART1 & UART2 - configures the UARTS as NS16550A 386-gpio-driver-for-amd-cs5535-cs5536.patch: A simple driver for the CS5535 and CS5536 that allows a user-space program to manipulate GPIO pins. i386-cs5535-chip-support-gpio.patch: Provides a simple GPIO char driver for the AMD CS5535, modeled after the scx200_gpio driver. |

| Reboot through the BIOS on newer HP laptops | Matthew Garrett | 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+) |
| Newer HP laptops (nc4200, nc6xxx, nc8xxx) hang on reboot with a standard configuration. Passing reboot=b makes them work. This patch adds a DMI quirk that defaults them to this mode, and doesn't appear to have any adverse effects on older HPs. | ||
