96c706ed1c USB: io_edgeport race condition in counters
io_edgeport is using a global variable without locking.
This is _the_ classical race condition. This patch switches to atomic_t.

e198a31489 EHCI: add delay to bus_resume before accessing ports
This patch (as870) adds a delay to ehci-hcd's bus_resume routine.
Apparently there are controllers and/or BIOSes out there which need
such a delay to get the ports back into their correct state.  This
fixes Bugzilla #8190.

eaafbc3a8a USB: Allow autosuspend delay to equal 0
This patch (as867) adds an entry for the new power/autosuspend
attribute in Documentation/ABI/testing, and it changes the behavior of
the delay value.  Now a delay of 0 means to autosuspend as soon as
possible, and negative values will prevent autosuspend.

6b157c9bf3 USB: separate autosuspend from external suspend
This patch (as866) adds new entry points for external USB device
suspend and resume requests, as opposed to internally-generated
autosuspend or autoresume.  It also changes the existing
remote-wakeup code paths to use the new routines, since remote wakeup
is not the same as autoresume.

As part of the change, it turns out to be necessary to do remote
wakeup of root hubs from a workqueue.  We had been using khubd, but it
does autoresume rather than an external resume.  Using the
ksuspend_usb_wq workqueue for this purpose seemed a logical choice.

fe4b65ec91 mos7720 update
this driver has an interesting way of handling ENOMEM: complain and ignore.
If you decide to live with allocation failures, you must

1. guard against URBs without corresponding buffers
2. complete allocation failures
3. always test entries for NULL before you follow the pointers

This patch does so.

1b42ae6d43 USB: fix race in HCD removal
This patch (as865) fixes a race in the HCD removal code discovered by
Milan Plzik.  Arrival of an interrupt after the root hub was
unregistered could cause the root-hub status timer to start up, even
after it was supposed to have been shut down.  The problem is fixed by
moving the del_timer_sync() call to after the HCD's stop() method, at
which time IRQ generation should be disabled.

fa70fe44ab USB: cxacru: export detailed device info through sysfs
When the device is polled for status there is a lot of useful status
information available that is ignored.  This patch stores the device info
array when the status is polled and adds sysfs files to the usb device to
allow userspace to query it.  Since the device updates its status
internally once a second the poll time is changed to this, and
round_jiffies_relative is used to avoid waking the cpu unnecessarily.

e9b8daf31b usbatm: create sysfs link "device" from atm class device to usb interface
There is currently no path from the ATM device in /sys to the USB device's
interface that the driver is using; this patch creates a "device" symlink.  It
is then possible to get to the cxacru ADSL statistics
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/23/328):

/sys/class/atm/cxacru0/device $ ls *_rate *_margin *_attenuation
downstream_attenuation  downstream_snr_margin  upstream_rate
downstream_rate         upstream_attenuation   upstream_snr_margin

If this link is not appropriate I'd have to create device files in
/sys/class/atm/cxacru0 instead - which seems less appropriate since the ADSL
statistics are for the USB device not ATM (which is running over the ADSL).

075c177152 define platform wakeup hook, use in pci_enable_wake()
This defines a platform hook to enable/disable a device as a wakeup event
source.  It's initially for use with ACPI, but more generally it could be used
whenever enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() don't suffice.

The hook is called -- if available -- inside pci_enable_wake(); and the
semantics of that call are enhanced so that support for PCI PME# is no longer
needed.  It can now work for devices with "legacy PCI PM", when platform
support allows it.  (That support would use some board-specific signal for for
the same purpose as PME#.)

fa1a8c23eb s390: cio: Delay uevents for subchannels
We often have the situation that we register a subchannel and start device
recognition, only to find out that the device is not usable after all, which
triggers an unregister of the subchannel.  This often happens on hundreds of
subchannels on a LPAR, leading to a storm of events which aren't of any use. 
Therefore, use uevent_suppress to delay the KOBJ_ADD uevent for a subchannel
until we know that its ccw_device is to be registered.

74e9f5fa15 Driver core: remove unneeded completion from driver release path
The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes.  It is not needed at all and can be removed.

Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future.  But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

c6a46696f9 driver core: don't fail attaching the device if it cannot be bound
Don't fail bus_attach_device() if the device cannot be bound.

If dev->driver has been specified, reset it to NULL if device_bind_driver()
failed and add the device as an unbound device.  As a result,
bus_attach_device() now cannot fail, and we can remove some checking from
device_add().

Also remove an unneeded check in bus_rescan_devices_helper().

21c7f30b1d driver core: per-subsystem multithreaded probing
Make multithreaded probing work per subsystem instead of per driver.

It doesn't make much sense to probe the same device for multiple drivers in
parallel (after all, only one driver can bind to the device).  Instead, create
a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another. 
Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per
device and adapt the pci code.

414264f959 Driver core: add name to device_type
If "name" of a device_type is specified, the uevent will
contain the device_type name in the DEVTYPE variable.
This helps userspace to distingiush between different types
of devices, belonging to the same subsystem.
