2005-11-09[PATCH] dvb: add nxt200x frontend moduleKirk Lapray
* nxt200x.c, nxt200x.h - New frontend module that supports both NXT2002 and NXT2004. So far, only tested on NXT2004. After testing on NXT2002, we should deprecate the nxt2002 module, and implement this one instead on the applicable cards. * get_dvb_firmware: - Added support for the NXT2004 firmware. This firmware works with both the ATI HDTV Wonder and the AVerTVHD MCE a180. This was originally written by Jean-Francois Thibert * dvb-pll.c - Fixed minimum frequency for tuv1236d. It seems that the data sheets are wrong.

2005-11-09[PATCH] dvb: Updated documentation for FusionHDTV Lite cardsMichael Krufky
- Updated documentation for FusionHDTV Lite cards. We must differentiate the bt8xx based "Lite" cards from the cx2388x based "Gold" cards. - Provide location of CARDLIST.bttv Documentation, rather than instructing users to look at bttv.h - Include card decimal id numbers. These are valid for module arguments, and might be easier for some people to remember, rather than hex.

2005-11-09[PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototypeChristoph Hellwig
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem. At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

2005-11-07[PATCH] RapidIO support: core baseMatt Porter
Adds a RapidIO subsystem to the kernel. RIO is a switched fabric interconnect used in higher-end embedded applications. The curious can look at the specs over at http://www.rapidio.org The core code implements enumeration/discovery, management of devices/resources, and interfaces for RIO drivers. There's a lot more to do to take advantages of all the hardware features. However, this should provide a good base for folks with RIO hardware to start contributing.
