[PATCHv2 11/11] OMAP2: Devkit8000: Fix regulator for power supply
Devkit8000 uses the TPS65930 and not the TWL4030. The TPS65930 uses only a subset of the power supplies of the TWL4030.

block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl
> Ok, here comes the first step. Can you be more specific about what you mean with the open and release methods? Do you mean the sg.c and bsg.c chrdev file operations? No, the open and release methods in struct block_device_operations. After this the driver API for block devices is BKL free, which is an imp... 2 Jun 2010 06:33

How to tell kernel that a region of memory is reserved (in middle of ram)?
Hi, I need to reserve a region of ram to store there a ramoops buffer. I need to do so early so kernel doesn't overwrite the existing contents. How to do it? I noticed that doing memmap=20M$0x70000000 crashes the system although it promised to work. Is that a bug? I have 2GB system with following memory ... 2 Jun 2010 06:33

RFC: Regulator Framework Voltage Setting
Hello, we have a question regarding the regulator_set_voltage function in the regulator framework (drivers/regulator/core.c). The current implementation checks the input min and max arguments against the constraints and then calls the driver set_voltage operation directly without checking the other consumer ... 2 Jun 2010 06:33
