* [PATCH] i2c: Rework client usage count, 3 of 3Jean Delvare2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Do not limit the usage count of i2c clients to 1. In other words, change the client usage count behavior from the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE to the old I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_MULTIPLE_USE. The rationale is that no driver actually needs the limiting behavior, and the unlimiting behavior is slightly easier to implement. Update the documentation to reflect this change.

* [PATCH] i2c: Drop i2c_driver.flags, 2 of 3Jean Delvare2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | Just about every i2c chip driver sets the I2C_DF_NOTIFY flag, so we can simply make it the default and drop the flag. If any driver really doesn't want to be notified when i2c adapters are added, that driver can simply omit to set .attach_adapter. This approach is also more robust as it prevents accidental NULL pointer dereferences. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* [PATCH] pcmcia: unify attach, EVENT_CARD_INSERTION handlers into one probe ↵Dominik Brodowski2006-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | callback Unify the EVENT_CARD_INSERTION and "attach" callbacks to one unified probe() callback. As all in-kernel drivers are changed to this new callback, there will be no temporary backwards-compatibility. Inside a probe() function, each driver _must_ set struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->instance and instance->handle correctly. With these patches, the basic driver interface for 16-bit PCMCIA drivers now has the classic four callbacks known also from other buses: int (*probe) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); void (*remove) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); int (*suspend) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); int (*resume) (struct pcmcia_device *dev); Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>

| * | | [PATCH] add boot option to control Intel SATA/PATA combined modeJesse Barnes2005-12-13
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combined mode sucks. Especially when both libata and the legacy IDE drivers try to drive ports on the same device, since that makes DMA rather difficult. This patch addresses the problem by allowing the user to control which driver binds to the ports in a combined mode configuration. In many cases, they'll probably want the libata driver to control both ports since it can use DMA for talking with ATAPI devices (when libata.atapi_enabled=1 of course). It also allows the user to get old school behavior by letting the legacy IDE driver bind to both ports. But neither is forced, the patch doesn't change current behavior unless one of combined_mode=ide or combined_mode=libata is passed on the boot line. Either of those options may require you to access your devices via different device nodes (/dev/hd* in the ide case and /dev/sd* in the libata case), though of course if you have udev installed nicely you may not notice anything. :) Let me know if the documentation is too cryptic, I'd be happy to expand on it if necessary. I think most users will want to boot with 'combined_mode=libata' and add 'options libata atapi_enabled=1' to their modules.conf to get good DVD playing and disk behavior (haven't tested CD or DVD writing though). I'd much rather things behave sanely by default (i.e. DMA for devices on both ports), but apparently that's difficult given the various chip bugs and hardware configs out there (not to mention that people's drives may suddenly change from /dev/hdc to /dev/sdb), so this boot option may be the correct long term fix.
