Remove the struct bus_type, class, device, device_driver from the driver-model docs. With another patch add them to device.h, since they are out of date. That will keep things up to date and provide a better way to document this stuff. Signed-off-by:

In case CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH is not set to "", which it should be on every system, the kernel forks processes during shutdown, which try to access the rootfs, even when the binary does not exist. It causes exceptions and long delays in the disk driver, which gets read requests at the time it tries to shut down the disk. This patch disables all kernel-forked processes during reboot to allow a clean poweroff. Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Tested-By:

This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver. Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines as to what the firmware is doing. The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in the file /sys/firmware/log. Signed-off-by:

The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for accessing hardware. Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information. Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used. This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command outlined in the FADT table. Three protocols are used due to various limitations over time, but all are included herein. This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM strings of the FADT ACPI table. This logic happens in gsmi_system_valid(). Signed-off-by:

When a device is registered to a bus it will be a) added to the list of devices of the bus and b) bind to a driver (if one matches). As a result of a driver being registered at this bus between a) and b) this device could already be bound to a driver. This leads to a warning and incorrect refcounting. To fix this add a check to device_attach to identify an already bound device. Signed-off-by:

When certain technologies shutdown their interface without waiting for the acknowledgement from the chip. The receive_buf from the TTY would be invoked a while after the relevant technology is unregistered. This patch introduces a new flag "is_registered" which maintains the state of protocols BT, FM or GPS and thereby removes the need to clear the protocol data from ST when protocols gets unregistered. This fixes corner cases when HCI RESET is sent down from bluetooth stack and the receive_buf is called from tty after 250ms before which bluetooth would have unregistered from the system. OR - when FM application decides to close down the device without sending a power-off FM command resulting in some RDS data or interrupt data coming in after the driver is unregistered.
