Driver core: Make platform_device_add_data accept a const pointer

2006-12-13T23:38:46Z

platform_device_add_data() makes a copy of the data that is given to it, and thus the parameter can be const. This removes a warning when data from get_property() on powerpc is handed to platform_device_add_data(), as get_property() returns a const pointer.

driver core: delete virtual directory on class_unregister()

2006-12-13T23:38:45Z

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58Z

Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "$[^$]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?$[^$]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] hotplug CPU: clean up hotcpu_notifier() use

2006-12-07T16:39:39Z

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn, prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add #ifdefs. the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine: text data bss dec hex filename 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.before 1624412 728710 3674856 6027978 5bfaca vmlinux.after [akpm@osdl.org: topology.c fix] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
