Fixes a bootstrapping issue for some registers when a less commonly used method for register cache initialisation is used. Only affects a fairly small proportion of users that both don't use explicit register defaults and do use the cache. * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: regmap: Fix cache defaults initialization from raw cache defaults

regmap: Fix cache defaults initialization from raw cache defaults

2012-02-15T16:31:32Z

Currently registers with a value of 0 are ignored when initializing the register defaults from raw defaults. This worked in the past, because registers without a explicit default were assumed to have a default value of 0. This was changed in commit b03622a8 ("regmap: Ensure rbtree syncs registers set to zero properly"). As a result registers, which have a raw default value of 0 are now assumed to have no default. This again can result in unnecessary writes when syncing the cache. It will also result in unnecessary reads for e.g. the first update operation. In the case where readback is not possible this will even let the update operation fail, if the register has not been written to before. So this patch removes the check. Instead it adds a check to ignore raw defaults for registers which are volatile, since those registers are not cached.

driver-core: cpu: fix kobject warning when hotplugging a cpu

2012-02-08T23:11:17Z

Due to the sysdev conversion to struct device, the cpu objects get reused when adding a cpu after offlining it, which causes a big warning that the kobject portion is not properly initialized. So clear out the object before we register it again, so all is quiet. Reported-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Tested-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

driver core: cpu: remove kernel warning when removing a cpu

2012-02-02T18:43:16Z

With the movement of the cpu sysdev code to be real stuct devices, now when we remove a cpu from the system, the driver core rightfully complains that there is not a release method for this device. For now, paper over this issue by quieting the driver core, but comment this in detail. This will be resolved in future kernels to be solved properly.

A fairly simple bugfix for a WARN_ON() which was triggered in the cache reset support as a result of some subsequent work. There's only one mainline user for the code path that's updated right now (wm8994) so should be low risk. * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: regmap: Reset cache status when reinitialsing the cache

Documentation update for the driver model core

2012-01-24T18:47:41Z

This patch (as1509) documents two important points regarding the use of device structures in the driver model: Structures must be initialized to all 0's before they are passed to device_initialize(). Structures must not be passed to device_add() or device_register() more than once. Although these restrictions have applied ever since the driver model was first created, they have not been mentioned anywhere. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
