2007-02-12[PATCH] SPI eeprom driverDavid Brownell
This is adds a simple SPI EEPROM driver, providing access to the EEPROM through sysfs much like the I2C "eeprom" driver ... except this driver supports write access, and multiple EEPROM sizes. From: "Tuppa, Walter" <walter.tuppa@siemens.com> Since I have EEPROMs on SPI with different address sizing, I made some changes to your at25.c to support them. Works perfectly. (Also includes a small bugfix for the "what size address" test.)

2007-02-12[PATCH] RTC gets sysfs wakealarm attributeDavid Brownell
This adds a new "wakealarm" sysfs attribute to RTC class devices which support alarm operations and are wakeup-capable: - It reads as either empty, or the scheduled alarm time as seconds since the POSIX epoch. (That time may already have passed, since nothing currently enforces one-shot alarm semantics.) - It can be written with an alarm time in the future, again seconds since the POSIX epoch, which enables the alarm. - It can be written with an alarm time not in the future (such as 0, the start of the POSIX epoch) to disable the alarm. Usage examples (some need GNU date) after "cd /sys/class/rtc/rtcN": alarm after 10 minutes: # echo $(( $(cat since_epoch) + 10 * 60 )) > wakealarm alarm tuesday evening 10pm: # date -d '10pm tuesday' "+%s" > wakealarm disable alarm: # echo 0 > wakealarm This resembles the /proc/acpi/alarm file in that nothing happens when the alarm triggers ... except possibly waking the system from sleep. It's also like that in a nasty way: not much can be done to prevent one task from clobbering another task's alarm settings. It differs from that file in that there's no in-kernel date parser. Note that a few RTCs ignore rtc_wkalrm.enabled when setting alarms, or aren't set up correctly, so they won't yet behave with this attribute.

2007-02-12[PATCH] SPI cleanup() method param becomes non-constHans-Peter Nilsson
I'd like to assign NULL to kfree()d members of a structure. I can't do that without ugly casting (see the PXA patch) when the structure pointed to is const-qualified. I don't really see a reason why the cleanup method isn't allowed to alter the object it should clean up. :-) No, I didn't test the PXA patch, but I verified that the NULL-assignment doesn't stop me from doing rmmod/insmodding my own spi_bitbang-based driver.

2007-02-12[PATCH] spi_bitbang(): use overridable setup_transfer() methodHans-Peter Nilsson
A small bug-fix for spi_bitbang: it must always call the setup_transfer function via the overridable pointer, not assume that its spi_bitbang_setup_transfer is sufficient. Otherwise, if all options in the transfers are default (0), the overrided function will never be called. Granted, the function replacing it must call spi_bitbang_setup_transfer, but it might also have other important things to do, even if the second argument (the spi_transfer) is NULL. Tested together with the other patches on the spi_crisv32_sser and spi_crisv32_gpio drivers (not yet in the kernel, will IIUC be submitted as part of the usual arch-maintainer-pushes).

2007-02-12[PATCH] SPI: Freescale iMX SPI controller driver (BIS+)Andrea Paterniani
Add the SPI controller driver for Freescale i.MX(S/L/1). Main features summary: > Per chip setup via board specific code and/or protocol driver. > Per transfer setup. > PIO transfers. > DMA transfers. > Managing of NULL tx / rx buffer for rd only / wr only transfers. This patch replace patch-2.6.20-rc4-spi_imx with the following changes: > Few cosmetic changes. > Function map_dma_buffers now return 0 for success and -1 for failure. > Solved a bug inside spi_imx_probe function (wrong error path). > Solved a bug inside setup function (bad undo setup for max_speed_hz). > For read-only transfers, always write zero bytes. This is almost the same as the 'BIS' version sent by Andrea, except for updating the 'DUMMY' byte so that read-only transfers shift out zeroes. That part of the API changed recently, since some half duplex peripheral chips require that semantic.

2007-02-12[PATCH] SPI controller driver for OMAP MicrowireDavid Brownell
This adds a SPI driver for the Microwire controller on OMAP1 chips. This driver has been used in the Linux-OMAP tree for some time now, including with some of those displays using standardized 9-bit commands followed by data with 8-bit words. Microwire only supports half duplex transfers, but that's all that most SPI protocols need. When full duplex, or higher speeds, are needed there are several other controllers that can be used on OMAP.

This patch contains two fixes for RapisIO enumeration logic: 1. Fix enumeration in configurations with multiple switches. The patch adds: a. Enumeration of an empty switch. Empty switch is a switch that does not have any endpoint devices attached to it (except host device or previous switch in a chain). New code assigns a phony destination ID associated with the switch and sets up corresponding routes. b. Adds a second pass to the enumeration to setup routes to devices discovered after switch was scanned. 2. Fix enumeration failure when riohdid parameter has non-zero value. Current version fails to setup response path to the host when it has destination ID other that 0.

2007-02-11[PATCH] raw: don't allow the creation of a raw device with minor number 0Jeff Moyer
Minor number 0 (under the raw major) is reserved for the rawctl device file, which is used to query, set, and unset raw device bindings. However, the ioctl interface does not protect the user from specifying a raw device with minor number 0: $ sudo ./raw /dev/raw/raw0 /dev/VolGroup00/swap /dev/raw/raw0: bound to major 253, minor 2 $ ls -l /dev/rawctl ls: /dev/rawctl: No such file or directory $ ls -l /dev/raw/raw0 crw------- 1 root root 162, 0 Jan 12 10:51 /dev/raw/raw0 $ sudo ./raw -qa Cannot open master raw device '/dev/rawctl' (No such file or directory) As you can see, this prevents any further raw operations from succeeding. The fix (from Steve Fernandez) is quite simple--do not allow the allocation of minor number 0.

2007-02-11[PATCH] RTC framework driver for CMOS RTCsDavid Brownell
This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on PCs and some other platforms. That's MC146818 compatible silicon. Advantages of this vs. drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include: - This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported. (A separate patch creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.) - It supports common extensions like longer alarms. (A separate patch exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.) - Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc ioctls to manage wakeup. (Patch in the works. The ACPI hooks are known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish. Making it work with EFI will be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.) It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET. And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream" PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked). Also, the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API. Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework. Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.

2007-02-11[PATCH] tty: improve encode_baud_rate logicAlan Cox
Mostly so people can see the work in progress. This enhances the encode function which isn't currently used in the base tree but is when using some of the testing tty patches. This resolves a problem with some hardware where applications got confusing information from the tty ioctls. Correct but confusing. In some situations asking for, say, 9600 baud actually gets you 9595 baud or similar near-miss values. With the old code this meant that a request for B9600 got a return of BOTHER, 9595 which programs interpreted as a failure. The new code now works on the following basis - If you ask for specific rate via BOTHER, you get a precise return - If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and the result is close you get a Bfoo return - If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and get something way off you get a BOTHER/rate return This seems to fix up the cases I've found where this broke compatibility.

2007-02-11[PATCH] IPMI: Fix some RCU problemsCorey Minyard
Fix some RCU problem pointed out by Paul McKenney of IBM. These are: The wholesale move of the command receivers list into a new list was not safe because the list will point to the new tail during a traversal, so the traversal will never end on a reader if this happens during a read. Memory barriers were needed to handle proper ordering of the setting of the IPMI interface as valid. Readers might not see proper ordering of data otherwise. In ipmi_smi_watcher_register(), the use of the _rcu suffix on the list is unnecessary. This require the list_splice_init_rcu() patch previously posted.
