There was some left over #ifdef ARM logic that is outdated but no one
really noticed. So instead of relying on this tricky logic, properly
load and utilize the platform irq_flags resources.

Resolves kernel.org bug 14914.
Remove entry for 2770:915d (usb digital camera with mass storage
support) from unusual_devs.h. The fix triggered by the entry causes
the file system on the camera to be completely inaccessible (no
partition table, the device is not mountable).
The patch works, but let me clarify a few things about it. All the
patch does is remove the entry for this device from the
drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h, which is supposed to help with a
problem with the device's reported size (I think). I'm pretty sure it
was originally added for a reason, so I'm not sure removing it won't
cause other problems to reappear. Also, I should note that this
unusual_devs.h entry was present (and activating workarounds) in
2.6.29, but in that version everything works fine. Starting with
2.6.30, things no longer work.

[ 427.916699] Call Trace:
The problem is caused by a mismatch between the USB core's view of the
device state and the USB device and xHCI host's view of the device state.
After the device reset and re-configuration, the device and the xHCI host
think they are using alternate setting 0 of all interfaces. However, the
USB core keeps track of the old state, which may include non-zero
alternate settings. It uses intf->cur_altsetting to keep the endpoint
sysfs files for the old state across the reset.
The bandwidth allocation functions need to know what the xHCI host thinks
the current alternate settings are, so original patch set
intf->cur_altsetting to the alternate setting 0. This caused duplicate
endpoint files to be created.
The solution is to not set intf->cur_altsetting before calling
usb_set_interface() in usb_reset_and_verify_device(). Instead, we add a
new flag to struct usb_interface to tell usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() to use
alternate setting 0 as the currently installed alternate setting.

This patch (as1330) fixes a bug in khbud's handling of remote
wakeups. When a device sends a remote-wakeup request, the parent hub
(or the host controller driver, for directly attached devices) begins
the resume sequence and notifies khubd when the sequence finishes. At
this point the port's SUSPEND feature is automatically turned off.
However the device needs an additional 10-ms resume-recovery time
(TRSMRCY in the USB spec). Khubd does not wait for this delay if the
SUSPEND feature is off, and as a result some devices fail to behave
properly following a remote wakeup. This patch adds the missing
delay to the remote-wakeup path.
It also extends the resume-signalling delay used by ehci-hcd and
uhci-hcd from 20 ms (the value in the spec) to 25 ms (the value we use
for non-remote-wakeup resumes). The extra time appears to help some
devices.

This patch (as1321) fixes a problem with EHCI and UHCI root-hub
suspends: If the suspend occurs while a port is trying to resume, the
resume doesn't finish and simply gets lost. When remote wakeup is
enabled, this is undesirable behavior.
The patch checks first to see if any port resumes are in progress, and
if they are then it fails the root-hub suspend with -EBUSY.

This patch (as1320) fixes two problems related to interrupt-URB
scheduling in ehci-hcd.
URBs with an interval of 2 or 4 microframes aren't handled.
For the time being, the patch reduces to interval to 1 uframe.
URBs are constrained to have an interval no larger than 1024
frames by usb_submit_urb(). But some EHCI controllers allow
use of a schedule as short as 256 frames; for these
controllers we may have to decrease the interval to the
actual schedule length.
The second problem isn't very significant since few devices expose
interrupt endpoints with an interval larger than 256 frames. But the
first problem is critical; it will prevent the kernel from working
with devices having interrupt intervals of 2 or 4 uframes.

While converting emi62 to use request_firmware(), the driver was also
changed to use the ihex helper functions. However, this broke the loading
of the FPGA firmware because the code tries to access the addr field of
the EOF record which works with a plain array that has an empty last
record but not with the ihex helper functions where the end of the data is
signaled with a NULL record pointer, resulting in:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<f80d248c>] emi62_load_firmware+0x33c/0x740 [emi62]

This patch (as1315) fixes some bugs in the USB core authorization
code:
usb_deauthorize_device() should deallocate the device strings
instead of leaking them, and it should invoke
usb_destroy_configuration() (which does proper reference
counting) instead of freeing the config information directly.
usb_authorize_device() shouldn't change the device strings
until it knows that the authorization will succeed, and it should
autosuspend the device at the end (having autoresumed the
device at the start).
Because the device strings can be changed, the sysfs routines
to display the strings must protect the string pointers by
locking the device.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.
