3880b0b529 atyfb: correct_chipset() can fail
Atari probe code relies on correct_chipset() failing if the device is not
a mach64 GX/CX.  aty_chips[] array would be indexed with -1 in that case.

50cd0221c9 atyfb: remove dead code
Remove dead code.  This will slightly change the behaviour of the driver
on systems that support backlight control.  Previously they would just
turn the backlight off using the backlight control but now the generic LCD
code will also turn off the LCD using the POWER_MANAGEMENT register.

* Convert files to UTF-8.

  * Also correct some people's names
    (one example is Eißfeldt, which was found in a source file.
    Given that the author used an ß at all in a source file
    indicates that the real name has in fact a 'ß' and not an 'ss',
    which is commonly used as a substitute for 'ß' when limited to
    7bit.)

c73fcc846c [SPARC]: Fix serial console device detection.
The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
is wrong.

The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
or similar to a full path name to the console device.

Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
colon at the end of the path.  The option area is used to specify
which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
device node drives multiple ports.  'a' is assumed if the option
specification is missing.

This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator.  The 'output-device'
property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'.  Instead we saw it
as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.

The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.

Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

655bfd7aeb backlight: Convert from struct class_device to struct device
Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device
to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal.

One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed
to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see
a way around this.

28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

9c5b39e0bc [PATCH] atyfb: Possible cleanups
- make the following needlessly global function static:
  - mach64_ct.c: aty_st_pll_ct()
- proper prototypes for the following functions:
  - atyfb_base.c: atyfb_copyarea()
  - atyfb_base.c: atyfb_fillrect()
  - atyfb_base.c: atyfb_imageblit()

Fix some more problems (inverted use of semaphores in some places).  He
also moved my checks into within the protected section which is better.

98a3c78105 [PATCH] fbdev: Fix crashes in various fbdev's blank routines
The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the
kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no
backlight control on a machine.

The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb.  radeonfb seems to
be ok.  This fixes it.
