fb810d121b m68k: Atari SCSI revival
SCSI should be working on a TT (but someone should really try!) but causes
trouble on a Falcon (as in: it ate a filesystem of mine) at least when
used concurrently with IDE. I have the notion it's because locking of the
ST-DMA interrupt by IDE is broken in 2.6 (the IDE driver always complains
about trying to release an already-released ST-DMA). Needs more work, but
that's on the IDE or m68k interrupt side rather than SCSI.

1c23af90dc i2c: Bitbanging I2C bus driver using the GPIO API
This is a very simple bitbanging I2C bus driver utilizing the new
arch-neutral GPIO API. Useful for chips that don't have a built-in
I2C controller, additional I2C busses, or testing purposes.

To use, include something similar to the following in the
board-specific setup code:

  #include <linux/i2c-gpio.h>

  static struct i2c_gpio_platform_data i2c_gpio_data = {
	.sda_pin	= GPIO_PIN_FOO,
	.scl_pin	= GPIO_PIN_BAR,
  };
  static struct platform_device i2c_gpio_device = {
	.name		= "i2c-gpio",
	.id		= 0,
	.dev		= {
		.platform_data	= &i2c_gpio_data,
	},
  };

Register this platform_device, set up the I2C pins as GPIO if
required and you're ready to go. This will use default values for
udelay and timeout, and will work with GPIO hardware that does not
support open drain mode, but allows sensing of the SDA and SCL lines
even when they are being driven.

7d054817b7 i2c-pxa: Clean transaction stop
It was reported to me that the i2c-pxa driver was not able to process
more that 50 transactions per second. Investigation revealed that the
I2C unit was busy for 20 ms after every transaction. The reason seems
to be that we forget to clear the STOP and ACKNACK bits at the end of
the transaction. According to the PXA27x developer's manual, we shall
do so.

424ed67c7d i2c-algo-bit: Implement a 50/50 SCL duty cycle
The original i2c-algo-bit implementation uses a 33/66 SCL duty cycle
when bits are being written on the bus. While the I2C specification
doesn't forbid it, this prevents us from driving the I2C bus to its
max speed, limiting us to 66 kbps max on standard I2C busses.

Implementing a 50/50 duty cycle instead lets us max out the bandwidth
up to the theoretical max of 100 kbps on standard I2C busses. This is
particularly important when large amounts of data need to be transfered
over the bus, as is the case with some TV adapters when the firmware is
being uploaded.

In fact this change even allows, at least in theory, fast-mode I2C
support at 125, 166 and 250 kbps. There's no way to reach the
theoretical max of 400 kbps with this implementation. But I don't
think we want to put efforts in that direction anyway: software-driven
I2C is very CPU-intensive and bad for latency.

Other timing changes:
* Don't set SDA high explicitly on error, we're going to issue a stop
  condition before we leave anyway.
* If an error occurs when sending the slave address, yield the CPU
  before retrying, and remove the additional delay after the new start
  condition.

12b5053ac5 i2c: Add i2c_new_probed_device()
Add a new helper function to instantiate an i2c device. It is meant as a
replacement for i2c_new_device() when you don't know for sure at which
address your I2C/SMBus device lives. This happens frequently on TV
adapters for example, you know there is a tuner chip on the bus, but
depending on the exact board model and revision, it can live at different
addresses. So, the new i2c_new_probed_device() function will probe the bus
according to a list of addresses, and as soon as one of these addresses
responds, it will call i2c_new_device() on that one address.

This function will make it possible to port the old i2c drivers to the
new model quickly.

the EXPORT_SYMBOL declarations next to the relevant definitions.

6e13e64184 i2c: Add i2c_add_numbered_adapter()
This adds a call, i2c_add_numbered_adapter(), registering an I2C adapter
with a specific bus number and then creating I2C device nodes for any
pre-declared devices on that bus.  It builds on previous patches adding
I2C probe() and remove() support, and that pre-declaration of devices.

This completes the core support for "new style" I2C device drivers.
Those follow the standard driver model for binding devices to drivers
(using probe and remove methods) rather than a legacy model (where the
driver tries to autoconfigure each bus, and registers devices itself).

9c1600eda4 i2c: Add i2c_board_info and i2c_new_device()
This provides partial support for new-style I2C driver binding.  It builds
on "struct i2c_board_info" declarations that identify I2C devices on a given
board.  This is needed on systems with I2C devices that can't be fully probed
and/or autoconfigured, such as many embedded Linux configurations where the
way a given I2C device is wired may affect how it must be used.

There are two models for declaring such devices:

 * LATE -- using a public function i2c_new_device().  This lets modules
   declare I2C devices found *AFTER* a given I2C adapter becomes available.
   
   For example, a PCI card could create adapters giving access to utility
   chips on that card, and this would be used to associate those chips with
   those adapters.

 * EARLY -- from arch_initcall() level code, using a non-exported function
   i2c_register_board_info().  This copies the declarations *BEFORE* such
   an i2c_adapter becomes available, arranging that i2c_new_device() will
   be called later when i2c-core registers the relevant i2c_adapter.

   For example, arch/.../.../board-*.c files would declare the I2C devices
   along with their platform data, and I2C devices would behave much like
   PNPACPI devices.  (That is, both enumerate from board-specific tables.)

To match the exported i2c_new_device(), the previously-private function
i2c_unregister_device() is now exported.

Pending later patches using these new APIs, this is effectively a NOP.
