usblcd currently has no way to limit memory consumption by fast writers.
This is a security problem, as it allows users with write access to this

The driver uses usb_control_msg() for exchanging data with the device.
When the driver lived freeley _outside_ the kernel tree (pre 2.6.21) the
timeouts for these calls where set to 5*HZ for reading, 1HZ for writing.
(These timeouts seemed to work fine for all users of the driver, at
least nobody complained in the last 2 years.
The current code (2.6.21-rc5) removed the 'HZ' from the timeouts and
left the driver with 5 jiffies for reading and 1 jiffy for writing. My
new machine is fast, but not that fast.
The patch also removes a useless debug statement, which was left over
from testing a broken firmware version

Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device
and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation
function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and
allows simplifcation of some code.
Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.
backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.
Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.
Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

A simple driver to turn on the charging capability of a USB BlackBerry
device when it is plugged into the machine. It does not bind to the
device, so all userspace programs can still sync properly with it.
Note, if CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is enabled, it can play havoc with this
device as the power to the port will be shut down. This device id will
have to be added to the global blacklist table when it is created.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

ELAN's U132 is a USB to CardBus OHCI controller adapter,
designed specifically for CardBus 3G data cards to
function in machines without a CardBus slot.
The "ftdi-elan" module is a USB client driver, that detects
a supported CardBus OHCI controller plugged into the
U132 adapter and thereafter provides the conduit for
for access by the "u132-hcd" module.
The "u132-hcd" module is a (cut-down OHCI) host controller
that supports a single OHCI function of the CardBus
card inserted into the U132 adapter.
The problem with the initial implementation is that when
the CardBus card inserted into the U132 adapter has multiple
functions (and a CardBus card can support up to 4 functions),
it was the first function that was arbitrarily choosen.
The first batch of 3G cards tested, like the Merlin Qualcomm
V620, have two functions each supporting a seperate USB OHCI
host controller, of which it was that first function that is
wired up to the 3G modem.
Then along comes the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data card,
aka "Option GT 3G Quad" as printed on it's rear or "Option N.V.
GlobeTrotter Fusion Quad Lite" as read with "lspci -v". And it
has the meaningful functionality in the second CardBus function.
That presents a problem because it was the "ftdi-elan" module
alone that knows how to communicate to the embedded CardBus slot
and the "u132-hcd" module alone that knows how to access the
pcmcia configuration and CardBus accessible memory space. And
of course, the information about attached (internally hardwired)
devices is contained within USB configuration embedded somewhere
within the CardBus card.
If only the "u132-hcd" module probe() interface could return a
result code that propagated back to the instigating function
platform_device_register() then the "ftdi-elan" module could
try an alternative CardBus function. However in spite of
the recent changes to the drivers/base/ routines that moved
device_attach() from bus_add_device() to bus_attach_device()
both of those routines lose the "failed to attach" 0 result
code and thus the calling routine, namely device_add() is
incapable of propaging the "failed to attach" condition back
to platform_device_add() and consequently back to the caller
of platform_device_register()
Experiments show that patching bus_attach_device() to return
ENODEV fails with the kernel locking up very early during
boot. But, however, if the patch is restricted to calls from
platform_device_add() then it does seem to work.
Unfortunately, until the kernel's drivers/base is properly
modified to propagate -ENODEV back to the caller of
platform_device_register(), it is necessary to "fix" the
"ftdi-elan" module by importing knowledge from the
"u132-hcd" module. This is the reason for the duplicated
functionality introduced in this patch.
