PM: Remove WARN_ON from device_pm_add

Fix message in device_pm_add() saying that the device will not be
added to dpm_list, although in fact the device is going to be added
to the list regardless of the ordering violation.

Remove the WARN_ON(true) triggered in that situation, because it is
hit by USB very often and spams the users' logs.

This patch fixes bug #11263

driver core: add init_name to struct device

2008-08-21T17:15:37+00:00

This gives us a way to handle both the bus_id and init_name values being
used for a while during the transition period.

PM: don't skip device PM init when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP isn't set and CONFIG_PM is set

2008-08-21T17:15:36+00:00

This patch (as1124) fixes a couple of bugs in the PM core.  The new
dev->power.status field should be initialized regardless of whether
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is enabled, and similarly dpm_sysfs_add() should be
called whenever CONFIG_PM is enabled.

The patch separates out the call to dpm_sysfs_add() from the call to
device_pm_add().  As a result device_pm_add() can no longer return an
error, so its return type is changed to void.

driver model: anti-oopsing medicine

2008-08-21T17:15:36+00:00

Anti-oops medicine for the class iterators ... the oops was
observed when a class was implicitly referenced before it
was initialized.

dev_printk(): constify the `dev' argument

2008-08-21T17:15:36+00:00

Add const markings to dev_name and dev_driver_string to make it clear that
dev_printk doesn't modify dev.  This is a prerequisite to adding more
const markings to other functions make it clearer, which functions can
modify dev and which can't.

more sysdev API change fallout - drivers/base/memory.c

Use WARN() in drivers/base/

2008-07-26T19:00:07+00:00

Use WARN() instead of a printk+WARN_ON() pair; this way the message
becomes part of the warning section for better reporting/collection.
