[PATCH] remove bogus asm/bug.h includes.

2006-02-08T01:56:35+00:00

A bunch of asm/bug.h includes are both not needed (since it will get pulled anyway) and bogus (since they are done too early). Removed. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[ARM] 3228/1: SharpSL: Move PM code to arch/arm/common

2006-01-05T20:44:55+00:00

Patch from Richard Purdie This patch moves a large chunk of the sharpsl_pm driver to arch/arm/common so that it can be reused on other devices such as the SL-5500 (collie). It also abstracts some functions from the core into the machine and platform specific parts of the driver to aid reuse. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] 3096/1: Add SharpSL Zaurus power and battery management core driver

2005-11-10T17:42:29+00:00

Patch from Richard Purdie This patch adds a power and battery management core driver which with the addition of the right device files, supports the c7x0 and cxx00 series of Sharp Zaurus handhelds. The driver is complex for several reasons. Battery charging is manually monitored and controlled. When suspended, the device needs to periodically partially resume, check the charging status and then re-suspend. It does without bothering the higher linux layers as a full resume and re-suspend is unnecessary. The code is carefully written to avoid interrupts or calling code outside the module under these circumstances. It also vets the various wake up sources and monitors the device's power situation. Hooks to limit the backlight intensity and to notify the battery monitoring code of backlight events are connected/added as the backlight is one of the biggest users of power on the device.

[DRIVER MODEL] Convert platform drivers to use struct platform_driver

2005-11-09T22:32:44+00:00

This allows us to eliminate the casts in the drivers, and eventually remove the use of the device_driver function pointer methods for platform device drivers. Signed-off-by: Russell King Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason

2005-11-09T15:55:57+00:00

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3 #defines are unused in most of the touched files. A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is unfortunatly in linux/version.h. There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used. quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'` search pattern: /UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/$utsname\|version$.h Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Create platform_device.h to contain all the platform device details.

[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacks

2005-10-28T16:52:56+00:00

In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that. Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
