This uses fat_get_short_entry() in fat_dir_empty(). Moves fat_scan() and
fat_subdirs() to dir.c.

From Ren <l.s.r@web.de>

the function vfat_strnicmp() has just one callsite. Inlining it
actually shrinks vfat.o slightly.

From Ren <l.s.r@web.de>

there are several places inside fs/vfat/namei.c where the length of a
struct qstr without any trailing dots is calculated. The patch below
adds a function vfat_striptail_len() which does that and makes use of it.

This uses ->i_pos instead of ->i_ino on fat_fs_panic() because ->i_ino
is not useful.

loff_t is _signed_ long long, so format string should use "%lld".

This adds the forgotten test whether it's negative dentry.  That test
should be needed only in negative dentry case.

Removes unneeded dcache_lock.

(NOTE: vfat still has the filename case problem on mkdir(), rename() etc.)

Allows all architectures to simply include the sound/Kconfig file.
Now somebody can finally update the comment for CONFIG_SOUND ;-).

and move help comment to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD

there is a little memory leak in i2c-ali15x3.c .
You can reproduce the BUG as follows:
In a PC with no such device unloading i2c-ali15x3 cause an oops in release_region.
I've fixed by moving release_region() from i2c_ali15x3_exit() to ali15x3_remove().

This updates the driver from version 2.4.0->2.5.0, adding
the CCM_FLIP command.

won't even compile without it.

[ GregKH has already done this is USB and PCI core. ]

From: "Warren A. Layton" <zeevon@debian.org>

Based on a request from Matthew Wilcox, convert instances of
pci_dev->slot_name to use pci_name() instead:

  "In order to support PCI Domains, we have to stop using slot_name.
   It's related to driver model transition too since pci_dev->slot_name
   was redundant with pci_dev->dev.bus_id.  So I introduced the inline
   function pci_name().  Now there's about 300-400 places in the tree
   that're using slot_name which need to be converted to use pci_name().
   once that's done, we can remove the slot_name pointer in pci_dev and
   save a (void *) per pci_dev."

Return proper error code from copy_to_user failure in fs/sysfs/bin.c

From: maximilian attems <janitor@sternwelten.at>

Use char arrays instead of char* for strings:
 a. uses a single variable instead of two.
 b. shorter code.
 c. __initdata will be completely dropped.

Neither one of these drivers has a clear maintainer.  The patches are
straight forward and tested.  Both drivers are released under the GPL.
