This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:
for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
done
with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.
NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.
The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Due to the 80-cols restrictions, and latter due to checkpatch
warnings, several strings were broken into multiple lines. This
is not considered a good practice anymore, as it makes harder
to grep for strings at the source code.
As we're right now fixing other drivers due to KERN_CONT, we need
to be able to identify what printk strings don't end with a "\n".
It is a way easier to detect those if we don't break long lines.
So, join those continuation lines.

adjusted if needed.

Pull media build fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"A series of patches that fix compilation on non-x86 archs.
While most of them are just build fixes, there are some fixes for real
bugs, as there are a number of drivers using dynamic stack allocation.
A few of those might be considered a security risk, if the i2c-dev
module is loaded, as someone could be sending very long I2C data that
could potentially overflow the Kernel stack. Ok, as using /dev/i2c-*
devnodes usually requires root on usual distros, and exploiting it
would require a DVB board or USB stick, the risk is not high"

- a new frontend (cx24117)
- a new I2C camera flash driver (lm3560)
- a new mem2mem driver for TI SoC (ti-vpe)

- some improvements on buffer allocation at VB2 core
- usual driver fixes and improvements
PS this time, we have a smaller number of patches. While it is hard
to pinpoint to the reasons, I believe that it is mainly due to:
1) there are several patch series ready, but depending on DT review.
I decided to grant some extra time for DT maintainers to look on
it, as they're expecting to have more time with the changes agreed
during ARM mini-summit and KS. If they can't review in time for
3.14, I'll review myself and apply for the next merge window.
2) I suspect that having both LinuxCon EU and LinuxCon NA happening
during the same merge window affected the development
productivity, as several core media developers participated on
both events"

Since USB receives STATUS_RSSI updates through the interrupt endpoint,
there is no need to poll with USB, so get rid of the polling.
Note this also changes the order in which the probing of USB devices is done,

monitored.

Reading registers from the pcear USB dongles with the si470x causes a
loud pop (and an alsa buffer overrun). Since most radio apps periodically
call G_TUNER to update mono/stereo, signal and afc status this leads
to the music . pop . music . pop . music -> not good.
On the internet there is an howto for flashing the pcear with a newer
firmware from the silabs reference boardto fix this, but:
1) This howto relies on a special version of the driver which allows
firmware flashing
2) We should try to avoid the answer to a bug report being upgrade your
firmware, if at all possible
3) Windows does not suffer from the pop sounds
After a quick look at the driver I found at that the register reads are
not necessary at all, as the device gives us the necessary status through
usb interrupt packets, and the driver already uses these!
