The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this
causes a conflict with a motherboard device reported by PNPBIOS.
This patch makes the floppy driver request and release only the ports it
actually uses. It also factors out the request/release stuff and the
io-ports list so they're all in one place now.
The current floppy driver uses only these ports:
0x3f2 (FD_DOR)
0x3f4 (FD_STATUS)
0x3f5 (FD_DATA)
0x3f7 (FD_DCR/FD_DIR)
but it requests 0x3f2-0x3f5 and 0x3f7, which includes the unused port
0x3f3.
Some BIOSes report 0x3f3 as a motherboard resource. The PNP system driver
reserves that, which causes a conflict when the floppy driver requests
0x3f2-0x3f5 later.
Philippe reported that this conflict broke the floppy driver between
2.6.11 and 2.6.22. His PNPBIOS reports these devices:
$ cat 00:07/id 00:07/resources # motherboard device
PNP0c02
state = active
io 0x80-0x80
io 0x10-0x1f
io 0x22-0x3f
io 0x44-0x5f
io 0x90-0x9f
io 0xa2-0xbf
io 0x3f0-0x3f1
io 0x3f3-0x3f3
$ cat 00:03/id 00:03/resources # floppy device
PNP0700
state = active
io 0x3f4-0x3f5
io 0x3f2-0x3f2

I found a problem of handling of modem status of atmel_serial driver.
With the commit 1ecc26 ("atmel_serial: split the interrupt handler"),
handling of modem status signal was splitted into two parts. The
atmel_tasklet_func() compares new status with irq_status_prev, but
irq_status_prev is not correct if signal status was changed while the port
is closed.
Here is a sequence to cause problem:
1. Remote side sets CTS (and DSR).
2. Local side close the port.
3. Local side clears RTS and DTR.
4. Remote side clears CTS and DSR.
5. Local side reopen the port. hw_stopped becomes 1.
6. Local side sets RTS and DTR.
7. Remote side sets CTS and DSR.
Then CTS change interrupt can be received, but since CTS bit in
irq_status_prev and new status is same, uart_handle_cts_change() will not
be called (so hw_stopped will not be cleared, i.e. cannot send any data).
I suppose irq_status_prev should be initialized at somewhere in open
sequence.
Itai Levi pointed out that we need to initialize atmel_port->irq_status
as well here. His analysis is as follows:
> Regarding the second part of the patch (which resets irq_status_prev),
> it turns out that both versions of the patch (mine and Atsushi's)
> still leave enough room for faulty behavior when opening the port.
>
> This is because we are not resetting both irq_status_prev and
> irq_status in atmel_startup() to CSR, which leads faulty behavior in
> the following sequences:
>
> First case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. transmitting one char
> 5. Cannot transmit more chars, although CTS line is 0
>
> Second case:
> 1. closing the port while CTS line = 0 (TX allowed)
> 2. setting CTS line = 1 (TX not allowed)
> 3. opening the port
> 4. receiving some chars
> 5. Now we can transmit, although CTS line is 1
>
> This reason for this is that the tasklet is scheduled as a result of
> TX or RX interrupts (not a status change!), in steps 4 above. Inside
> the tasklet, the atmel_port->irq_status (which holds the value from
> the previous session) is compared to atmel_port->irq_status_prev.
> Hence, a status-change of the CTS line is faultily detected.

Sensors responding with 0x3B to WHO_AM_I only have one data register per
direction, thus returning a signed byte from the position which is
occupied by the MSB in sensors responding with 0x3A.
Since multiple sensors share the reply to WHO_AM_I, we rename the defines
to better indicate what they identify (family of single and double
precision sensors).
We support both kind of sensors by checking for the sensor type on init
and defining appropriate data-access routines and sensor limits (for the
joystick) depending on what we find.

If a USB PCI controller is behind a cardbus bridge, we are trying to
restore its configuration registers too early, before the cardbus
bridge is operational. To fix this, call pci_restore_state() from
usb_hcd_pci_resume() and remove usb_hcd_pci_resume_early() which is
no longer necessary (the configuration spaces of USB controllers that
are not behind cardbus bridges will be restored by the PCI PM core
with interrupts disabled anyway).

This is the cause of the DMA faults and disk corruption that people have

the flag which says that we need to flush the chipset write-buffer when

the IOMMU.
