This avoids surprises like echoing "enable" into a sysfs file and

All calls into the SNC device methods have zero or one arguments and
return an integer or a buffer (some functions go as far as returning an
integer _or_ a buffer depending on the input parameter...).
This allows simplifying a couple of code paths and prepares the field
for other users of functions returning buffers.

The SNC device on recent Vaio laptops also stores the soft status and
leaves it available after reboot. Use it and always set the last soft
and hard status on module load.

Some Toshiba laptops have the transflective LCD and toshset
can control its backlight state. I brought this feature to the
mainline. To support transflective LCD, it's implemented by
adding an extra level to the backlight and having 0 change to
transflective mode. It was tested on a Toshiba Portege R500.

Currently the backlight device is registered unconditionally, but many
(probably most) Toshibas either don't support HCI_LCD_BRIGHTNESS or only
support reading from it. This patch adds a test of HCI_LCD_BRIGHTNESS
during initialization and only registers the backlight device if this
interface supports both reads and writes.

The tp_features.bright_acpimode will not be set correctly for brightness

The XO-1 rfkill driver should only send EC commands when changing
between blocked/unblocked state.
The rfkill switch is asked to be unblocked on every resume (even when
the card was never blocked before) and sending a EC_WLAN_LEAVE_RESET
command here upsets the resume sequence of the libertas driver. Adding
the check to avoid the spurious EC_WLAN_LEAVE_RESET fixes the wifi resume
behaviour.
The rfkill state is maintained by the hardware over suspend/resume
so no extra consideration is needed here.

Since there are uses for I2C_M_NOSTART which are much more sensible and
standard than most of the protocol mangling functionality (the main one
being gather writes to devices where something like a register address
needs to be inserted before a block of data) create a new I2C_FUNC_NOSTART
for this feature and update all the users to use it.
Also strengthen the disrecommendation of the protocol mangling while we're
at it.
In the case of regmap-i2c we remove the requirement for mangling as
I2C_M_NOSTART is the only mangling feature which is being used.

As the bus driver side implementation of I2C_M_RECV_LEN is heavily
tied to SMBus, we can't support received length over 32 bytes, but
let's at least support that.
In practice, the caller will have to setup a buffer large enough to
cover the case where received length byte has value 32, so minimum
32 + 1 = 33 bytes, possibly more if there is a fixed number of bytes
added for the specific slave (for example a checksum.)

If a driver's watchdog_device struct is part of a dynamically allocated
struct (which it often will be), merely locking the module is not enough,
even with a drivers module locked, the driver can be unbound from the device,
examples:
1) The root user can unbind it through sysfd
2) The i2c bus master driver being unloaded for an i2c watchdog
I will gladly admit that these are corner cases, but we still need to handle
them correctly.
The fix for this consists of 2 parts:
1) Add ref / unref operations, so that the driver can refcount the struct
holding the watchdog_device struct and delay freeing it until any
open filehandles referring to it are closed
2) Most driver operations will do IO on the device and the driver should not
do any IO on the device after it has been unbound. Rather then letting each
driver deal with this internally, it is better to ensure at the watchdog
core level that no operations (other then unref) will get called after
the driver has called watchdog_unregister_device(). This actually is the
bulk of this patch.

This patch fixes some potential multithreading issues, despite only
allowing one process to open the /dev/watchdog device, we can still get
called multiple times at the same time, since a program could be using thread,
or could share the fd after a fork.
This causes 2 potential problems:
1) watchdog_start / open do an unlocked test_n_set / test_n_clear,
if these 2 race, the watchdog could be stopped while the active
bit indicates it is running or visa versa.
2) Most watchdog_dev drivers probably assume that only one
watchdog-op will get called at a time, this is not necessary
true atm.
