Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open /dev/console, presumably to write an error message to. The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a module. This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel log: request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1 This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise). The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because 'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically. Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().

request_key() should return -ENOKEY if the key it constructs has been negatively instantiated. Without this, request_key() can return an unusable key to its caller, and if the caller then does key_validate() that won't catch the problem.

I'm trying to generate a <set> of <book>s in docbook for wireless to link together all the cfg80211 and mac80211 documentation. However, docbook will generate "re01.html" anew for each book for the first <refentry>, presumably due to a bug in the stylesheets. An effective workaround is to use IDs for the filenames, which makes them more descriptive as well, e.g. API-enum-ieee80211-band.html.

Commit 5349ef31 (drm/fb: fix FBIOGET/PUT_VSCREENINFO pixel clock handling) changed the logic of when a pixclock was valid vs invalid. The atomic kernel mode setting used by the kernel debugger relies upon the drm_fb_helper_check_var() to always return -EINVAL. Until a better solution exists, this behavior will be restored.
