This comment about killing power to the backlight is ancient, and incorrect
(the code that follows actually does the opposite of what the comment says).
This was due to hardware changes; the comment was for the original OLPC GX2
boards, but when the OLPC LX boards came out, the code was updated for that
hardware.

This adds DCON support for the OLPC XO. The DCON is found in XO-1 and
XO-1.5 hardware. The XO-1 has a CS5536 southbridge, while the XO-1.5
has a Via chipset; the GPIO magic that's necessary to communicate with
the DCON chip is unfortunately different across both platforms. This
driver supports both.
This driver is in bad state atm, so I'm requesting its inclusion into
staging so it can be cleaned up while staying in the kernel tree.
Original driver by Dave Woodhouse, and modified extensively by
Jordan Crouse, myself, Deepak Saxena, Paul Fox, Daniel Drake, and
probably others that I've missed.

- Event thread wakes up and passes the event to
event_handler() to process.
- It processes and clears the USBIP_EH_SHUTDOWN
flag then returns.
- The outer event loop (event_handler_loop()) calls
wait_event_interruptible().
The processing of the second flag which is part of
VDEV_EVENT_DOWN (USBIP_EH_RESET) did not happen yet.
It is delayed until the next event.
This means the ->reset callback may not happen for
a long time (if ever), leaving the usbip port in a
weird state which prevents its reuse.
This patch changes the handler to process all flags
before waiting for another wakeup.
I have verified this change to fix a problem which
prevented reattach of a usbip device. It also helps
for socket errors which missed the RESET as well.
The delayed event processing also affects the stub
side of usbip and the error handling there.

This will generate a lot of sparse warnings as all drivers will have unused

staging: ath6kl: Fixing a race condition during initialization
The commit fixes a race condition in the initialization portion of the
driver. The problem was observed while testing with the kernel in the
staging-next tree. The wait on the ready event is signalled prematurely
before setting the arVersion.wlan_ver and arVersion.abi_ver. The code
waiting on this semaphore checks for the validity of these values and
hence may proceed with an un-updated values of these fields. The wakeup
signal is now sent after these values are set.
The commit fixes a compilation error that was encountered while using
a specific kernel configuration file. The problem was the use of some
functions defined in <linux/semaphore.h> without including the header
file explicitly. It was probably working before because of the
dependency getting implicitly satisfied via some other header file.

not valid as we may free the data using a call_rcu created callback

reference count to be sure that the memory isn't freed to early.
It is currently only to implement the already existing functionality and
doesn't provide the full tracking of all usage cases.
Additionally, we must hardif_hold inside the
rcu_read_lock()..rcu_read_unlock() before we attach to the structure
which "leaks" it. When another function now removed it from its usage
context (primary_if, usage on stack, ...) then we must hardif_put it. If
it is decremented to zero then we can issue the call_rcu to the freeing
function. So "put" is not allowed inside an rcu_read_lock.
