<content type='text'>
This reverts commit b1c43f82c5aa265442f82dba31ce985ebb7aa71c.

It was broken in so many ways, and results in random odd pty issues.

It re-introduced the buggy schedule_work() in flush_to_ldisc() that can
cause endless work-loops (see commit a5660b41af6a: "tty: fix endless
work loop when the buffer fills up").

It also used an "unsigned int" return value fo the -&gt;receive_buf()
function, but then made multiple functions return a negative error code,
and didn't actually check for the error in the caller.

And it didn't actually work at all.  BenH bisected down odd tty behavior
to it:
  "It looks like the patch is causing some major malfunctions of the X
   server for me, possibly related to PTYs.  For example, cat'ing a
   large file in a gnome terminal hangs the kernel for -minutes- in a
   loop of what looks like flush_to_ldisc/workqueue code, (some ftrace
   data in the quoted bits further down).

   ...

   Some more data: It -looks- like what happens is that the
   flush_to_ldisc work queue entry constantly re-queues itself (because
   the PTY is full ?) and the workqueue thread will basically loop
   forver calling it without ever scheduling, thus starving the consumer
   process that could have emptied the PTY."

which is pretty much exactly the problem we fixed in a5660b41af6a.

Milton Miller pointed out the 'unsigned int' issue.

The failed_get label is used after the call to clk_get has succeeded, so it
should be moved up above the call to clk_put.

The failed_req labels doesn't do anything different than failed_get, so
delete it.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@r exists@
expression e1,e2;

<title>net: dm9000: Get the chip in a known good state before enabling interrupts</title>

<id>6979d5dd96a4a4975ce240982436e92a3da23315</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the DM9000 driver requests the primary interrupt before it
resets the chip and puts it into a known good state. This means that if
the chip is asserting interrupt for some reason we can end up with a
screaming IRQ that the interrupt handler is unable to deal with. Avoid
this by only requesting the interrupt after we've reset the chip so we
know what state it's in.

This started manifesting itself on one of my boards in the past month or
so, I suspect as a result of some core infrastructure changes removing
some form of mitigation against bad behaviour here, even when things boot
it seems that the new code brings the interface up more quickly.

This avoids messages like this after suspend:

   cdc_ncm 2-1.4:1.6: no reset_resume for driver cdc_ncm?
   cdc_ncm 2-1.4:1.7: no reset_resume for driver cdc_ncm?
   cdc_ncm 2-1.4:1.6: usb0: unregister 'cdc_ncm' usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.4, CDC NCM

This is important for the Ericsson F5521gw GSM/UMTS modem.
Otherwise modemmanager looses the fact that the cdc_ncm and cdc_acm devices
belong together.

The cdc_ether module does the same.

In some cases we can read wrong temperature value. If after that
temperature value will not be updated to good one, we badly configure
tx power parameters and device is unable to send a data.

   The ath9k driver subtracts 3 dBm to the txpower as with two radios the
   signal power is doubled.
   The resulting value is assigned in an u16 which overflows and makes
   the card work at full power.

in two more places. I grepped the ath tree and didn't find any others.
