Some patches have simple defects in whitespace and formatting that checkpatch could correct automatically. Attempt to do so. Add a --fix option to create a "<inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes" file that tries to use normal kernel style for some of these formatting errors. Add warnings against using this file without verifying the changes.

Some false positives exist on this test. For instance: *va_arg(args, signed char *) = val.s; or memset(foo, 0, sizeof(struct bar *) * baz)); Ignore lines that have an arithmetic operator or assignment after what appears to be a cast to a pointer "(foo *)". Add $Arithmetic convenience variable.

The gcc extension for binary constants that start with 0b is only supported with gcc version 4.3 or higher. The kernel can still be compiled with earlier versions of gcc, so have checkpatch emit a warning for these constants. Restructure checkpatch's constant finding code a bit to support finding these binary constants.

Convert drivers/video/backlight/class to use dev_pm_ops for power management and remove Legacy PM ops hooks. With this change, backlight class registers suspend/resume callbacks via class->pm (dev_pm_ops) instead of Legacy class->suspend/resume. When __device_suspend() runs call-backs, it will find class->pm ops for the backlight class.

dmi_match() considers a substring match to be a successful match. This is not always sufficient to distinguish between DMI data for different systems. Add support for exact string matching using strcmp() in addition to the substring matching using strstr(). The specific use case in the i915 driver is to allow us to use an exact match for D510MO, without also incorrectly matching D510MOV: { .ident = "Intel D510MO", .matches = { DMI_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "Intel"), DMI_EXACT_MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "D510MO"), }, } Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Cc: <annndddrr@gmail.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Cornel Panceac <cpanceac@gmail.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix various weird constructions of strncpy(dst, src, strlen(src)). Length limits should be about the space available in the destination, not repurposed as a method to either always include or always exclude a trailing NULL byte. Either the NULL should always be copied (using strlcpy), or it should not be copied (using something like memcpy). Readable code should not depend on the weird behavior of strncpy when it hits the length limit. Better to avoid the anti-pattern entirely.
