Here's the large driver core updates for 3.8-rc1.
The biggest thing here is the various __dev* marking removals. This is
going to be a pain for the merge with different subsystem trees, I know,
but all of the patches included here have been ACKed by their various
subsystem maintainers, as they wanted them to go through here.
If this is too much of a pain, I can pull all of them out of this tree
and just send you one with the other fixes/updates and then, after
3.8-rc1 is out, do the rest of the removals to ensure we catch them all,
it's up to you. The merges should all be trivial, and Stephen has been
doing them all in linux-next for a few weeks now quite easily.
Other than the __dev* marking removals, there's nothing major here, some
firmware loading updates and other minor things in the driver core.
All of these have (much to Stephen's annoyance), been in linux-next for
a while.

We hit an hang issue when removing a mmc device on Medfield Android phone by sysfs interface.
device_pm_remove will call pm_runtime_remove which would disable
runtime PM of the device. After that pm_runtime_get* or
pm_runtime_put* will be ignored. So if we disable the runtime PM
before device really be removed, drivers' _remove callback may
access HW even pm_runtime_get* fails. That is bad.
Consider below call sequence when removing a device:
device_del => device_pm_remove
=> class_intf->remove_dev(dev, class_intf) => pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync
=> bus_remove_device => device_release_driver => pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync
remove_dev might call pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync.
Then, generic device_release_driver also calls pm_runtime_get_sync/put_sync.
Since device_del => device_pm_remove firstly, later _get_sync wouldn't really wake up the device.
I git log -p to find the patch which moves the calling to device_pm_remove ahead.
It's below patch:
commit 775b64d2b6
Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
Date: Sat Jan 12 20:40:46 2008 +0100
PM: Acquire device locks on suspend
This patch reorganizes the way suspend and resume notifications are
sent to drivers. The major changes are that now the PM core acquires
every device semaphore before calling the methods, and calls to
device_add() during suspends will fail, while calls to device_del()
during suspends will block.
It also provides a way to safely remove a suspended device with the
help of the PM core, by using the device_pm_schedule_removal() callback
introduced specifically for this purpose, and updates two drivers (msr
and cpuid) that need to use it.
As device_pm_schedule_removal is deleted by another patch, we need also revert other parts of the patch,
i.e. move the calling of device_pm_remove after the calling to bus_remove_device.

commit c4e00daaa9
("driver-core: extend dev_printk() to pass structured data")
changed __dev_printk and broke dynamic-debug's ability to control the
dynamic prefix of dev_dbg(dev,..).
commit af7f2158fd
("drivers-core: make structured logging play nice with dynamic-debug")
made a minimal correction.
The current dynamic debug code uses up to 3 recursion levels via %pV.
This can consume quite a bit of stack. Directly call printk_emit to
reduce the recursion depth.
These changes include:
dev_dbg:
o Create and use function create_syslog_header to format the syslog
header for printk_emit uses.
o Call create_syslog_header and neaten __dev_printk
o Make __dev_printk static not global
o Remove include header declaration of __dev_printk
o Remove now unused EXPORT_SYMBOL() of __dev_printk
o Whitespace neatening

o Remove KERN_DEBUG from dynamic_emit_prefix
o Call create_syslog_header and printk_emit

commit c4e00daaa9 changed __dev_printk
in a way that broke dynamic-debug's ability to control the dynamic
prefix of dev_dbg(dev,..), but not dev_dbg(NULL,..) or pr_debug(..),
which is why it wasnt noticed sooner.
When dev==NULL, __dev_printk() just calls printk(), which just works.
But otherwise, it assumed that level was always a string like "<L>"
and just plucked out the 'L', ignoring the rest. However,
dynamic_emit_prefix() adds "[tid] module:func:line:" to the string,
those additions all got lost.

Allow drivers to report at probe time that they cannot get all the resources
required by the device, and should be retried at a later time.
This should completely solve the problem of getting devices
initialized in the right order. Right now this is mostly handled by
mucking about with initcall ordering which is a complete hack, and
doesn't even remotely handle the case where device drivers are in
modules. This approach completely sidesteps the issues by allowing
driver registration to occur in any order, and any driver can request
to be retried after a few more other drivers get probed.
v4: - Integrate Manjunath's addition of a separate workqueue
- Change -EAGAIN to -EPROBE_DEFER for drivers to trigger deferral
- Update comment blocks to reflect how the code really works
v3: - Hold off workqueue scheduling until late_initcall so that the bulk
of driver probes are complete before we start retrying deferred devices.
- Tested with simple use cases. Still needs more testing though.
Using it to get rid of the gpio early_initcall madness, or to replace
the ASoC internal probe deferral code would be ideal.
v2: - added locking so it should no longer be utterly broken in that regard
- remove device from deferred list at device_del time.
- Still completely untested with any real use case, but has been
boot tested.

When userspace needs to find a specific device, it currently isn't easy to
resolve a /sys/devices/ path from a specific device tree node. Nor is it
easy to obtain the compatible list for devices.
This patch generalizes the code that inserts OF_* values into the uevent
device attribute so that any device that is attached to an OF node will
have that information exported to userspace. Without this patch only
platform devices and some powerpc-specific busses have access to this
data.
The original function also creates a MODALIAS property for the compatible
list, but that code has not been generalized into the common case because
it has the potential to break module loading on a lot of bus types. Bus
types are still responsible for their own MODALIAS properties.
Boot tested on ARM and compile tested on PowerPC and SPARC.

of device structures in the driver model:
Structures must be initialized to all 0's before they are

Structures must not be passed to device_add() or

Although these restrictions have applied ever since the driver model

All sysdev classes and sysdev devices will converted to regular devices
and buses to properly hook userspace into the event processing.
There is no interesting difference between a 'sysdev' and 'device' which
would justify to roll an entire own subsystem with different userspace
export semantics. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem
infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are currently not properly
available.
Every converted sysdev class will create a regular device with the class
name in /sys/devices/system and all registered devices will becom a children
of theses devices.
For compatibility reasons, the sysdev class-wide attributes are created
at this parent device. (Do not copy that logic for anything new, subsystem-
wide properties belong to the subsystem, not to some fake parent device
created in /sys/devices.)
Every sysdev driver is implemented as a simple subsystem interface now,
and no longer called a driver.
After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.

Disabling all runtime PM during system shutdown turns out not to be a
good idea, because some devices may need to be woken up from a
low-power state at that time.
The whole point of disabling runtime PM for system shutdown was to
prevent untimely runtime-suspend method calls. This patch (as1504)
accomplishes the same result by incrementing the usage count for each
device and waiting for ongoing runtime-PM callbacks to finish. This
is what we already do during system suspend and hibernation, which
makes sense since the shutdown method is pretty much a legacy analog
of the pm->poweroff method.
This fixes a recent regression on some OMAP systems introduced by
commit af8db1508f (PM / driver core:
disable device's runtime PM during shutdown).

There may be an issue when the user issue "reboot/shutdown" command, then
the device has shut down its hardware, after that, this runtime-pm featured
device's driver will probably be scheduled to do its suspend routine,
and at its suspend routine, it may access hardware, but the device has
already shutdown physically, then the system hang may be occurred.
I ran out this issue using an auto-suspend supported USB devices, like
3G modem, keyboard. The usb runtime suspend routine may be scheduled
after the usb controller has been shut down, and the usb runtime suspend
routine will try to suspend its roothub(controller), it will access
register, then the system hang occurs as the controller is shutdown.

The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.
Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.
v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.

This patch removes the old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 config option,
but it keeps the logic around to handle block devices in the old manner
as some people like to run new kernel versions on old (pre 2007/2008)
distros.

successfull -> successful
parse -> parses
controler -> controller
controlers -> controllers

Manually fix up conflicts in:
- drivers/net/e1000e/netdev.c: due to pm_qos registration
infrastructure changes
- drivers/net/phy/marvell.c: conflict between adding 88ec048 support
and cleaning up the IDs
- drivers/net/wireless/ipw2x00/ipw2100.c: trivial ipw2100_pm_qos_req
conflict (registration change vs marking it static)
This fixes the regression in 2.6.35-rcX where bluetooth network devices
would fail to be deleted from sysfs, causing their destruction and
recreation to fail. In addition this fixes the mac80211_hwsim driver
where it would leave around sysfs files when the driver was removed.
This problem is discussed at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16257
The reason for the regression is that the network namespace support
added to sysfs expects and requires that network devices be put in
directories that can contain only network devices.
Today get_device_parent almost provides that guarantee for all class
devices, except for a specific exception when the parent of a class
devices is a class device. It would be nice to simply remove that
arguably incorrect special case, but apparently the input devices depend
on it being there. So I have only removed it for class devices with
network namespace support. Which today are the network devices.
It has been suggested that a better fix would be to change the parent
device from a class device to a bus device, which in the case of the
bluetooth driver would change /sys/class/bluetooth to /sys/bus/bluetoth,
I can not see how we would avoid significant userspace breakage if we
were to make that change.
Adding an extra directory in the path to the device will also be
userspace visible but it is much less likely to break things.
Everything is still accessible from /sys/class (for example), and it
fixes two bugs. Adding an extra directory fixes a 3 year old regression
introduced with the new sysfs layout that makes it impossible to rename
bnep0 network devices to names that conflict with hci device attributes
like hci_revsion. Adding an additional directory removes the new
failure modes introduced by the network namespace code.
If it weren't for the regession in the renaming of network devices I
would figure out how to just make the sysfs code deal with this
configuration of devices.
In summary this patch fixes regressions by changing:
"/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/bnep0" to "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/net/bnep0".
