* Driver core: Revert "Fix Firmware class name collision"Michael E Brown2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 109f0e93b6b728f03c1eb4af02bc25d71b646c59. The original patch breaks BIOS updates on all Dell machines. The path to the firmware file for the dell_rbu driver changes, which breaks all of the userspace tools which rely on it. Note that this patch re-introduces a problem with i2c name collision that was previously fixed by this patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When trying to debug a suspend failure I started implementing PM_TRACE for powerpc. I then noticed that I'm debugging a suspend failure and so PM_TRACE isn't useful at all, but thought that nonetheless this could be useful in the future. Basically, to support PM_TRACE, you add a Kconfig option that selects PM_TRACE and provides the infrastructure as per the help text of PM_TRACE.

* | Driver core: fix race in __device_release_driverAlan Stern2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1013) was suggested by David Woodhouse; it fixes a race in the driver core. If a device is unregistered at the same time as its driver is unloaded, the driver's code pages may be unmapped while the remove method is still running. The calls to get_driver() and put_driver() were intended to prevent this, but they don't work if the driver's module count has already dropped to 0. Instead, the patch keeps the device on the driver's list until after the remove method has returned. This forces the necessary synchronization to occur.

In the end, the firmware_register/unregister functions will be deleted entirely, but we need this symbol so that subsystems can migrate over.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. Having 3 static kobjects in one structure is not only foolish, but ripe for nasty race conditions if handled improperly. We also rename the field to catch any potential users of it (not that there should be outside of the driver core...)
