2013-08-31spi: core: Fix spi_register_master error handlingAxel Lin
In the case spi_master_initialize_queue() fails, current code calls device_unregister() before return error from spi_register_master(). However, all the drivers call spi_master_put() in the error path if spi_register_master() fails. Thus we should call device_del() rather than device_unregister() before return error from spi_register_master(). This also makes all the spi_register_master() error handling consistent, because all other error paths of spi_register_master() expect drivers to call spi_master_put() if spi_register_master() fails.

2013-08-29spi: simplify devm_request_mem_region/devm_ioremapJulia Lawall
Convert the composition of devm_request_mem_region and devm_ioremap to a single call to devm_ioremap_resource. The associated call to platform_get_resource is also simplified and moved next to the new call to devm_ioremap_resource. This was done using a combination of the semantic patches devm_ioremap_resource.cocci and devm_request_and_ioremap.cocci, found in the scripts/coccinelle/api directory. This patch also removes the label exit_busy, to use the error code returned by the failing operation, rather than always -EBUSY.

2013-08-28spi: altera: Simplify altera_spi_txrx implementation for noirq caseAxel Lin
This patch simplifies the code and makes it better in readability. Now the logic in the while loop is simply "write to ALTERA_SPI_TXDATA then read from ALTERA_SPI_TXDATA". There is a slightly logic change because now we avoid a read-write cycle when hw->len is 0. Since the code in bitbang library will call bitbang->txrx_bufs() only when t->len is not 0, this is not a problem.

Commit dcd7b8bd63cb81c5b973bf86510ca3c80bbbd162 ("staging: comedi: put module _after_ detach" by myself) reversed a couple of calls in `comedi_device_attach()` when recovering from an error returned by the low-level driver's 'attach' handler. Unfortunately, that introduced a NULL pointer dereference bug as `dev->driver` is NULL after the call to `comedi_device_detach()`. We still have a pointer to the low-level comedi driver structure in the `driv` variable, so use that instead.

The sb_nbio must be incremented exactly the same number of times as complete() function was called (or will be called) because nilfs_segbuf_wait() will call wail_for_completion() for the number of times set to sb_nbio: do { wait_for_completion(&segbuf->sb_bio_event); } while (--segbuf->sb_nbio > 0); Two functions complete() and wait_for_completion() must be called the same number of times for the same sb_bio_event.

2013-08-23drivers/platform/olpc/olpc-ec.c: initialise earlierDaniel Drake
Being a low-level component, various drivers (e.g. olpc-battery) assume that it is ok to communicate with the OLPC Embedded Controller during probe. Therefore the OLPC EC driver must be initialised before other drivers try to use it. This was the case until it was recently moved out of arch/x86 and restructured around commits ac2504151f5a ("Platform: OLPC: turn EC driver into a platform_driver") and 85f90cf6ca56 ("x86: OLPC: switch over to using new EC driver on x86"). Use arch_initcall so that olpc-ec is readied earlier, matching the previous behaviour. Fixes a regression introduced in Linux-3.6 where various drivers such as olpc-battery and olpc-xo1-sci failed to load due to an inability to communicate with the EC. The user-visible effect was a lack of battery monitoring, missing ebook/lid switch input devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@laptop.org> Cc: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net> Cc: Paul Fox <pgf@laptop.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
