radeonfb: Whack the PCI PM register until it sticks

2009-03-22T18:08:53+00:00

This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core
pci_set_power_state().  The chip seems to need the state to be written
over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.

Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc...  but that's
pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to
be before the regression.  I still add a call to pci_set_power_state()
at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

Impact: help prevent extinction of species

The Tasmanian Devil is a shy iconic Australian creature named for its
spine-chilling screech.  It is threatened with extinction due to a
scientifically interesting but horrific transmissible facial cancer.

This one is standing in for Tux for one release using the far less-known
Devil Facial Tux Disguise.

radeonfb/aty128fb: Disable broken early resume hook for PowerBooks

2009-03-10T23:48:56+00:00

radeonfb and aty128fb have a special hook called by the PowerMac platform
code very very early on resume from sleep to bring the screen back. This
is useful for debugging wakup problems, but unfortunately, this also became
a source of problems of its own.

The hook is called extremely early, with interrupts still off, and the code
path involved with that code nowadays rely on things like taking mutexes,
GFP_KERNEL allocations, etc...

In addition, the driver now relies on the PCI core to restore the standard
config space before calling resume which doesn't happen with this early
code path.

I'm keeping the code in but commented out along with a fixup call to
pci_restore_state(). The reason is that I still want to make it easy to
re-enable temporarily to track wake up problems, and it's possible that
I can revive it at some stage if we make sleeping things save to call
in early resume using a system state.

In the meantime, this should fix several reported regressions.

i810: fix kernel crash fix when struct fb_var_screeninfo is supplied

2009-03-10T22:55:12+00:00

Prevent the kernel from being crashed by a divide-by-zero operation when
supplied an incorrectly filled 'struct fb_var_screeninfo' from userland.

Previously i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params) was using the global
'yres' symbol previously defined at i810_main.c:145 as a module parameter
value holder (i810_main.c:2174).  If i810fb is compiled-in or if this
param doesn't get a default value, this direct usage leads to a
divide-by-zero at i810_main.c:1005 (i810_check_params).  The patch simply
replace the 'yres' global, perhaps undefined symbol usage by a given
parameter structure lookup.

This problem occurs with directfb, mplayer -vo fbdev, SDL library.
It was also reported ( but non solved ) at:

video: deferred io cleanup fix for sh_mobile_lcdcfb

2009-03-10T06:23:01+00:00

Fix deferred io cleanup patch in the sh_mobile_lcdcfb driver.

If probe() fails early the sh_mobile_lcdc_stop() function will
be called to clean up deferred io. This patch modifies the
code to only call fb_deferred_io_cleanup() after deferred io
has been initialized.

With this patch applied we no longer hit BUG_ON() inside
fb_deferred_io_cleanup(). Triggers on a Migo-R with the
SYS QVGA panel board unmounted.

m68k: atari - Rename "mfp" to "st_mfp"

This is caused by

in arch/m68k/include/asm/atarihw.h, which conflicts with the new "mfp" enum in
net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h.

Rename "mfp" to "st_mfp", as it's a way too generic name for a global #define.
