[PATCH] Add support for power_supply on tosa
Support the battery management on Sharp Zaurus SL-6000. This patch depends on the tc6393xb support as found in the arm:devel or linux-next trees.

Add support for IRQ_NOAUTOEN in __set_irq_handler
Currently, IRQ_NOAUTOEN is only supported with request_irq, and not fx. set_irq_chained_handler(). As the IRQ_NOAUTOEN flag is silently ignored by __set_irq_handler, you risk writing faulty code that start with irq enabled although the developer expects irq disabled. If the flag is not handled, wouldn't it make s... 20 Jun 2008 05:04

lmbench regression due to cond_resched nullification change 26-rc5 vs. 25
Hello Linus, On a 6-way s390 I have seen some interesting regression in 2.6.26-rc5 vs. 2.6.25 for the lmbench benchmark. For example select file 500: 23 microseconds 32 microseconds Several lmbench tests show a regression but I only bisected the select test case so far: -------------------------<snip---... 22 Jun 2008 16:17

NETDEV WATCHDOG on U60/SMP
Hello, This mail comes from sparclinux mailing list. I repost it on general linux kernel mailing list because I'm not sure that this bug is sparc specific. Nevertheless, I can only reproduce it on sparc64/SMP. My U60 runs linux debian with official 2.6.25 linux kernel (I'm currently trying 2.6.25.7) and s... 20 Jun 2008 07:07

[PATCH 2/3] atmel_nand: Work around AT32AP7000 ECC errata
The ALE signal isn't correctly wired up to the ECC controller on the AP7000, so it starts calculating ECC during the address cycles. Work around this by resetting the ECC controller between the address and data cycles.

[PATCH 1/3] atmel_nand speedup via {read,write}s{b,w}()
From: David Brownell <david-b(a)pacbell.net> This uses __raw_{read,write}s{b,w}() primitives to access data on NAND chips for more efficient I/O. On an arm926 with memory clocked at 100 MHz, this reduced the elapsed time for a 64 MByte read by 16%. ("dd" /dev/mtd0 to /dev/null, with an 8-bit NAND using hardware... 20 Jun 2008 04:03
