[ Upstream commit e7080d4471d805d921a9ea21b32f911a91e248cb ]

It started with a sporadic message in syslog: "CAM tried to send a
buffer larger than the ecount size" This message is not the fault
itself, but a consecutive fault, after a read error from the CAM. This
happens only on several CAMs, several hardware, and of course sporadic.

It is a consecutive fault, if the last read from the CAM did fail. I
guess this will not happen on all CAMs, but at least it did on mine.
There was a write error to the CAM and during the re-initialization
procedure, the CAM finished the last read, although it got a RS.

The write error to the CAM happened because a race condition between HC
write, checking DA and FR.

This patch added an additional check for DA(RE), just after checking FR.
It is important to read the CAMs status register again, to give the CAM
the necessary time for a proper reaction to HC. Please note the
description within the source code (patch below).

[ Upstream commit ca6e6126db5494f18c6c6615060d4d803b528bff ]

Implement memory barriers according to Documentation/circular-buffers.txt:
- use smp_store_release() to update ringbuffer read/write pointers
- use smp_load_acquire() to load write pointer on reader side
- use ACCESS_ONCE() to load read pointer on writer side

This fixes data stream corruptions observed e.g. on an ARM Cortex-A9
quad core system with different types (PCI, USB) of DVB tuners.

[ Upstream commit c9d57de6103e343f2d4e04ea8d9e417e10a24da7 ]

When in FE_TUNE_MODE_ONESHOT the frontend must report
the actual capabilities so user can take appropriate
action.

With frontends that can't do auto inversion this is done
by dvb-core automatically so CAN_INVERSION_AUTO is valid.

However, when in FE_TUNE_MODE_ONESHOT this is not true.

So only set FE_CAN_INVERSION_AUTO in modes other than
FE_TUNE_MODE_ONESHOT

<content type='text'>
* 'drm-next-merged' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: (9717 commits)
  media-bus: Fixup RGB444_1X12, RGB565_1X16, and YUV8_1X24 media bus format
  hexdump: avoid warning in test function
  fs: take i_mutex during prepare_binprm for set[ug]id executables
  smp: Fix error case handling in smp_call_function_*()
  iommu-common: Fix PARISC compile-time warnings
  sparc: Make LDC use common iommu poll management functions
  sparc: Make sparc64 use scalable lib/iommu-common.c functions
  Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lock
  sparc: Revert generic IOMMU allocator.
  tools/power turbostat: correct dumped pkg-cstate-limit value
  tools/power turbostat: calculate TSC frequency from CPUID(0x15) on SKL
  tools/power turbostat: correct DRAM RAPL units on recent Xeon processors
  tools/power turbostat: Initial Skylake support
  tools/power turbostat: Use $(CURDIR) instead of $(PWD) and add support for O= option in Makefile
  tools/power turbostat: modprobe msr, if needed
  tools/power turbostat: dump MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT2
  tools/power turbostat: use new MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT names
  Bluetooth: hidp: Fix regression with older userspace and flags validation
  config: Enable NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE by default when SWIOTLB is selected
  perf/x86/intel/pt: Fix and clean up error handling in pt_event_add()
  ...

That solves several merge conflicts:
	Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/subdev-formats.xml
	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt
	drivers/staging/media/mn88473/mn88473.c
	include/linux/kconfig.h
	include/uapi/linux/media-bus-format.h

The ones at subdev-formats.xml and media-bus-format.h are not trivial.
That's why we opted to merge from DRM.

Simply added the PID (0xd3a4) of this DVB-T USB device to the list of rtl2832u-supported devices. VID (0x1b80) is same as KWORLD2.

Tested and verified to work in amd64 with kernels 3.13.0 and 3.16.0.

The functions "dvb_unregister_device" and "kfree" could still be called
by the dvb_ca_en50221_init() function in the case that a previous resource

The dvb_unregister_device() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Montage M88DS3103/M88TS2022 demod/tuner.

The demodulator needs a firmware. Antti posted a firmware when releasing
