commit 8417da6f2128008c431c7d130af6cd3d9079922e upstream.

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-&lt;anything&gt; in the
cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some
other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of
the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function
cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in
the toplevel Makefile.

commit 55fe25b418640fad04190103274841b2c907bacd upstream.

This example file uses the old V4L1 API. It also doesn't use libv4l.
So, it is completely obsolete. A good example already exists at
v4l-utils (v4l2grab.c):

commit 4a5838ad9d2d4f7354a310982483f4c76aa0abeb upstream.

Add a 'W=1' Makefile switch which adds additional checking per build
object.

The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the
process of writing their code, want to do the occasional

make W=1 [target.o]

and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they
could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various
bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build
process.

For more background information and a use case, read through this
thread: http://marc.info/?l=kernel-janitors&amp;m=129802065918147&amp;w=2

commit 834e2312e7a384877a876b0d34dffc3046c96bcb upstream.

The /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices file doesn't know about Wireless or
SuperSpeed USB.  This patch (as1416b) teaches it, and updates the
Documentation/usb/proc_sub_info.txt file accordingly.

i8042 controller present in Dell Vostro V13 errorneously signals spurious
timeouts.

Introduce i8042.notimeout parameter for ignoring i8042-signalled timeouts
and apply this quirk automatically for Dell Vostro V13, based on DMI match.

In addition to that, this machine also needs to be added to nomux blacklist.

<title>PCI/PM: Do not use native PCIe PME by default</title>

commit b27759f880018b0cd43543dc94c921341b64b5ec upstream.

Commit c7f486567c1d0acd2e4166c47069835b9f75e77b
(PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe
PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to
control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports.
However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug
and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that
the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well.  That, in turn, causes
problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not
loaded.  The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and
others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps
firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage
of CPU time.

To work around this issue, change the default so that the native
PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help
of the pcie_pme= command line switch.

Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is
a listed regression from 2.6.33.

commit df16dd53c575d0cb9dbee20a3149927c862a9ff6 upstream.

Read only one of the GPIO pins as an analog voltage. The ADC can be
switched to a different GPIO pin at runtime, but this is not supported.

Previously, this driver would report the analog voltage of the currently
selected GPIO pin as all three GPIO voltages: in9_input, in10_input and
in11_input.
