[PATCH] Avoid implicit constant truncation
From: Ian Munsie <imunsie(a)au.ibm.com> When building on 64 bit platforms, the compiler throws the following warning: drivers/pci/probe.c:197: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type This patch adds an explicit truncation to silence the compiler warning.

[PATCH 32/62] x86: move hp-wmi's probe function to .devinit.text
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig(a)pengutronix.de> A pointer to hp_wmi_bios_setup is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the ..init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will... 2 Mar 2010 19:14

[PATCH 06/62] sysdev: Convert node driver class attributes to be data driven
From: Andi Kleen <andi(a)firstfloor.org> Using the new attribute argument convert the node driver class attributes to carry the node state.

[PATCH 07/36] serial: imx: fix NULL dereference Oops when pdata == NULL
From: Baruch Siach <baruch(a)tkos.co.il> The platform code doesn't have to provide platform data to get sensible default behaviour from the imx serial driver. This patch does not handle NULL dereference in the IrDA case, which still requires a valid platform data pointer (in imx_startup()/imx_shutdown()), since ... 2 Mar 2010 19:14

[PATCH 18/62] Driver-Core: devtmpfs - reset inode permissions before unlinking
From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers(a)vrfy.org> Before unlinking the inode, reset the current permissions of possible references like hardlinks, so granted permissions can not be retained across the device lifetime by creating hardlinks, in the unusual case that there is a user-writable directory on the same filesystem.... 2 Mar 2010 19:14

[PATCH 23/62] driver-core: firmware_class: remove base.h header inclusion
