Teach the mcp23s08 driver about a curious feature of these chips: up to four of them can share the same chipselect, with the SPI signals wired in parallel, by matching two bits in the first protocol byte against two address lines on the chip. This is handled by three software changes: * Platform data now holds an array of per-chip structs, not just one chip's address and pullup configuration. * Probe() and remove() now use another level of structure, wrapping an instance of the ori...

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> X86 reboot-notify additions. This patch adds scans of the "reboot_notifier_list" callback chain in a three other places where the kernel is being stopped and/or restarted. Adds calls to blocking_notifier_call_chain() in: crash_kexec(), emergency_restart(), sys_kexec_load() In the crash_kexec() and emergency_restart() cases it is indicated to the called-back function that the system is not in a sane state, so that it can avoid taking a lock or so...

Update and bugfix the patch adding sysfs GPIO support: * Bugfix: the test initializing the IS_OUT flag for output-only GPIOs had the sense inverted. * Update: when gpio_chip.dev is provided, list it in the debugfs dump. Device nodes are unique; the "label" isn't. The bug of course caused output-only GPIOs to misbehave, but it also made just-exported (or generally: only-requested) GPIOs always appear to be outputs in sysfs and debugfs. That's wrong more often than it's right, a...

I submitted a similar patch some time ago, but rightfully it didn't get accepted, as it just disabled all output from the decompress stage (without a boot time option to enable it). This patch just disables the information output from this stage, but not the error output.

This patch replaces the custom asic3_get/set_gpio_value calls with GPIO API support. asic3_set_gpio_value is removed completely, asic3_get_gpio_value is unexported but kept for the IRQT_BOTHEDGE emulation. Now struct asic3 can be made private, so it is moved out of the public header.

net: Enable tagging for net_class directories in sysfs The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in the same directory, ouch! To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in sysfs, this patch enables the tagging directory support in sysfs. By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the the sysfs dire...

My apologies for not looking at this earlier. This is a nice cleanup. Thank you. Eric --

sysfs: Implement sysfs_delete_link and sysfs_rename_link When removing a symlink sysfs_remove_link does not provide enough information to figure out which tagged directory the symlink falls in. So I need sysfs_delete_link which is passed the target of the symlink to delete. Further half the time when we are removing a symlink the code is actually renaming the symlink but not doing so explicitly because we don't have a symlink rename method. So I have added sysfs_rename_link as well. Both of ...
