[PATCH 04/38] Driver core: Reduce the level of request_firmware() messages
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw(a)sisk.pl> The messages from _request_firmware() informing that firmware is being requested or built-in firmware is going to be used are printed at KERN_INFO, which produces lots of noise on systems with huge numbers of AMD CPUs. Reduce the level of these messages to KERN_DEBUG to get... 21 May 2010 13:55

[PATCH 16/38] Driver core: Protect device shutdown from hot unplug events.
From: Hugh Daschbach <hdasch(a)broadcom.com> While device_shutdown() walks through devices_kset to shutdown all devices, device unplug events may race to shutdown individual devices. Specifically, sd_shutdown(), on behalf of fc_starget_delete(), has been observed deleting devices during device_shutdown()'s list tr... 21 May 2010 13:55

[PATCH 10/25] serial: bfin_sport_uart: only enable SPORT TX if data is to be sent
From: Sonic Zhang <sonic.zhang(a)analog.com> Rather than always turn on the SPORT TX interrupt, only do it when we've actually queued up data for transmission. This avoids useless interrupt processing. Signed-off-by: Sonic Zhang <sonic.zhang(a)analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier(a)gentoo.org> Signed-... 21 May 2010 13:54

[PATCH 07/38] driver core: module.c: Use kasprintf
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size calculation itself. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression a,flag; expression list args; statement S; @@ a = - \(kmalloc\|kz... 21 May 2010 13:54

[PATCH 16/25] tty: n_gsm: depends on NET
