Let's initialize atomic_t variables keeping track of number of various
devices created so far with -1 in order to avoid extra subtraction
operation.

<title>Input: joystick - use ktime for measuring timing</title>

<content type='text'>
The current codes in gameport and analog joystick drivers for the time
accounting have a long-standing problem when the system is running
with CPU freq; since the timing is measured via TSC or sample counter,
the calculation isn't reliable.

In this patch, as a simple fix, use the standard ktime to measure the
timing.  In case where no high resolution timer is available,
use_ktime bool option is provided to both modules.  Setting
use_ktime=false switches to the old methods.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

The dev_attrs field of struct bus_type is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead.  This converts the gameport bus code to use the
correct field.

<title>Driver core: driver_find() drops reference before returning</title>

<id>fde25a9b63b9a3dc91365c394a426ebe64cfc2da</id>
<content type='text'>
As part of the removal of get_driver()/put_driver(), this patch
(as1510) changes driver_find(); it now drops the reference it acquires
before returning.  The patch also adjusts all the callers of
driver_find() to remove the now unnecessary calls to put_driver().

In addition, the patch adds a warning to driver_find(): Callers must
make sure the driver they are searching for does not get unloaded
while they are using it.  This has always been the case; driver_find()
has never prevented a driver from being unregistered or unloaded.
Hence the patch will not introduce any new bugs.  The existing callers
all seem to be okay in this respect, however I don't understand the
video drivers well enough to be certain about them.
