d856f1e337 [PATCH] klist: fix klist to have the same klist_add semantics as list_head
at the moment, the list_head semantics are

list_add(node, head)

whereas current klist semantics are

klist_add(head, node)

This is bound to cause confusion, and since klist is the newcomer, it
should follow the list_head semantics.

I also added missing include guards to klist.h

94fd0db7bf [PATCH] Floppy: Add cmos attribute to floppy driver
Currently only a device 'fdX' shows up in sysfs; the other possible
device for this drive (like fd0h1440 etc) must be guessed from there.

This patch corrects the floppy driver to create a platform device for
each floppy found; each platform device also has an attribute 'cmos'
which represents the cmos type for this drive. From this attribute the
other possible device types can be computed.

Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.

To ease the task of locating class devices derived from a certain

Change USB host class device name from usbX to usb_hostX to avoid

Tweaked by Greg to have the symlink be "class_name:class_device_name" in

e797637f4c [PATCH] sis190: basic sis191 support
The sis191 is the gigabit brother of the sis190. SiS's driver suggests
that the register set is backward compatible: this should hopefully
give a basic driver.

The device should allow the usual features from a modern ethernet
adapter (802.1q, SG, Jumbo frames, TSO, checksum offload). So far
the relevant register layout is not documented. SiS's driver does
not provide these features either (at least not for Linux).

6614a6dc6e [PATCH] sis190: make 10Mbps the default when handling the StationControl register
This patch does three things:
- widen the access to the StationControl register (note the SIS_W16
  versus SIS_W32 change);
- default to 10Mbps half duplex when the LPA can not be evaluated
  (reg31->ctl is identical for both). It can be argued that it makes
  sense as the lowest common denominator when everything else failed.
  Btw it works better than the current code. :o)
- remove some enums: they do not document anymore.

694fa056a6 [PATCH] hwmon: (2/3) pc87360 driver update
pc87360: number-skew to init

The temp, therm, fan, pwm callbacks all have an offset skew in the code
which accommodates attribute numbering conventions under
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/9191-6620/ (ie they start at 1)

This patch moves that skew into the declaration, and out of the
functions (except for therm, where we simplify from 2 skews to 1). The
declarative skew is clearer, less error-prone, and more efficient.

The use of 11+offset-4 below reflects the fact that the sysfs numbering
of these units is 4, 5, 6, but they use internal VLM units 11, 12, 13 to
measure the thermistor voltages.

There's one remaining skew factor, in *_crit callbacks below, because
there are no critical thresholds for voltages 0-10, only for those
supporting the thermistors.

a89923fff7 [PATCH] I2C: Fix sgi_xfer return value
The sgi_xfer function returns 0 on success instead of the number of
transfered messages as it is supposed to. This patch fixes that.

Let's just hope that no client chip driver was relying on this
misbehavior.

When an i2c transfer is successful, an incorrect value is returned.
This patch fixes that.

b280dab6d6 [PATCH] I2C: Drop probe parameter of i2c-keywest
The i2c-keywest driver has a "probe" module parameter which enables bus
scanning at load time. This can be done in userspace with the i2cdetect
tool (part of the lm_sensors package) instead. What's more, i2cdetect
gives more control on the way the bus is scanned, and is safer
(i2c-keywest currently scans reserved addresses and doesn't properly
handle the famous 24RF08 corruption case.)

Thus, I would propose that this module parameter be simply dropped.

386625f9f5 [PATCH] I2C: Drop debug eeprom dump code in pcilynx
The pcilynx driver includes code to dump the contents of an i2c eeprom
for debugging purposes. The same can be done from userspace using the
i2cdump tool (part of the lm_sensors project) instead, in a more
efficient and flexible way.

Thus I would suggest that this functionality be simply dropped from the
pcilynx driver.
